CAREER COUNSELLING AND GUIDANCE APPROACH

The trend currently is for individuals to pursue multiple careers in their lifetime. This is being called as the new career paradigm where the need for continuous learning is increasing by leaps and bounds, and gigs are becoming popular. Modern research advocates a self discovery based approach rather than a prescription based approach for discovery. The key is to equip individuals to fend for themselves across the various pivots in their professional lives, and be able to make consciously considered career and skill building choices. This includes looking into the current and future job markets, considering one’s own need for fulfillment, economic needs and work life balance.

So in simple planning terms we may have to think through internal (strengths/weakness) and external (opportunities/threats) factors and devise actionable, practical and flexible plans.To facilitate the above we follow a research recommended six phase career planning model (ONETCP^TM) which reduces career difficulties systematically and is available across the lifetime of an individual. The model is published as part of research and is based on O*NET, the largest occupational database in the world.

EMERGING NEED FOR CAREER GUIDANCE IN COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA

While career planning has always been relevant, significant changes to the traditional career paradigm and the rise of the gig economy have now made this an essential life skill. The need is even more acute in developing economies (like India) which lack comprehensive, non proprietary tests and where career decisions traditionally have been taken based on the vocations, opinions and instincts of parents and mentors. These traditional models of career decision can no longer be carried on in the light of advancements in technology and rapid globalization. The need of the hour, thus, is a framework which provides accurate recommendations and also broadens an individuals worldview.

The Tucareers career tests are increasingly being used by several independent career counselors & mentors, counselling and guidance organizations. Tucareers is thus one of the most comprehensive, widely used and accurate career assessment solution available. But don’t just take our word for it.
