I watch children aspire for greatness, a
nd I feel glad when they share with parents, friends and teachers their aspirations. Many of such voiced aspirations receive a couple of “wow” and “that’s great”; the question is what next?
The most essential thing needed but often overlooked is guidance (Career planning).How enlightened are they about their aspired careers, capabilities, requisite programmes( since we do not just become, but study to become) and how to pursue such programmes.
Career is a lifelong profession an individual engages in to earn a living.
Career planning is understanding and evaluating your strength, interest, aspiration, other influences and making a choice.
As a parent, you want only the very best for your son or daughter and career guidance is of utmost importance.
Career guidance gives the child a clear picture of what his/her goal should be.
It gives the child career options that could suit him/her. Hence, can start preparing for that option from the beginning.
It will give the child ample amount of time for the right kind of preparation.
Many are aspiring for the same career that you want. How is it possible that you can easily beat the competition.
The best way to seek guidance that is objective as well as strategic and to beat this competition and avoid confusion is to consult Nawac’s career guide for Beginners. A simplified manual on 100 professions with requisite programmes at the second cycle institution, Tertiary and professional institutions for the various professions.
Work may change, but an individuals interests remain for a lifetime.
Career is for a lifetime, choose it right.
