Career Counselling involves providing Career Guidance, Career Planning, and Career Development support to people – be it students or working professionals or anyone else. It helps in clearing the confusion and indecision around right stream selection after grade 10^th and the right career after 12^th and graduation. It lets one explore different career options, understand their scope and relevant opportunities, and helps in making the right career choice. It achieves this by focusing on helping one understand more about his/her own interests, aptitude, skills, personality and more so that he/she can take an informed career decision.

A Career Assessment is a test scientifically designed to understand about a person’s unique set of strengths, aptitudes, skills, and personality-type so that the right mapped careers can be recommended to him/her. Quite often, the terms career assessment/test and psychometric assessment/test are interchangeably used.

Our Career Assessment tests are quite advanced and scientifically proven, and we have different types of career/psychometric assessments for school students, college students/graduates, and working professionals. Our assessment test reports provide a 360-degree brain and skill profile analysis, Persona and Strength-Weakness examination, information on Right Courses needed to fill in the skills gaps, Exact Interventions needed for career development, and AI-powered Career Recommendations. This combined with our insightful career counselling & mentoring sessions give great clarity and direction to our clients in pursuing the best career paths.
