The Education & Career Guidance Program is a comprehensive counseling process, our Counselors conduct personal interviews with the Counselees and use psychometric (vocational interests & personality) tests, thus helping them explore and understand their professional interests and personality aspects. The Individual Career Guidance Programme focuses on providing Counselees with comprehensive information on the educational or professional options they have matching their preferences, and on acquiring all the necessary skills in order to achieve their goals.
Instead of choosing your path based on random happenings or scattered information that is not scientifically confirmed and proven, we aim to incorporate research, scientific findings and our Counselees individual characteristics and skills in order to specify which career and academic paths are best for them so they will reach their optimal potential.
We deliver to our Counselees a holistic approach of what they can gain from choosing specific academic or career paths. In addition, we provide thorough information on what needs to be done for them to achieve their goals (enhance skills, self-discovery, time-management, stress-management) based on their unique personal characteristics, skills and aptitudes.
