The last years of secondary school are a time full of doubts and anxieties about one's future. Many students are not sure exactly what they want to do, and that's logical! Sometimes they have a concrete idea, but they find that they are struggling with subjects that are weighted more heavily in their marks, or they suddenly discover a degree that exactly matches their expectations... For this reason, a career guidance day can be a key help in resolving all these questions.
Vocational choice is one of the most important decisions of our lives. Therefore, when the big moment approaches, it is normal that many doubts arise, doubts that can be solved more easily with a vocational guidance process or, at least, start to be addressed.
What does this conference consist of?
Career guidance is a series of personalised programmes of variable duration where students are provided with valuable information about the different branches of knowledge, offers from universities or higher degrees, accompaniment or tutoring and coaching... They can even offer tests specially created with automated programmes that design possible itineraries that adapt to the aptitudes of each one, according to the results obtained and their personal circumstances.
On the other hand, in addition to specially qualified staff to motivate and give the right advice, many of these days are attended by former students to talk about their previous and subsequent experience. As well as to explain their new day-to-day life once they have started their chosen degree or degree programme.
Career guidance is a trend
Career guidance appears in the trending topics on Twitter on important dates such as university pre-registration, when the entrance exams are approaching, open days... In fact, as the current affairs portal for teachers states, academic and career guidance for young people during secondary education «is already part of government strategies in education in countries such as Finland, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, Ireland and, more recently, the United Kingdom». Such initiatives also promote the social mobility of many young people who do not have work references in their families and who would not receive the advice they need if it were not for these days. In this way, schools will avoid reproducing social inequalities of origin.
What are the benefits of vocational guidance?
That educational portal explains some of the many advantages of this type of academic coaching:
From learning and internalising the basic fundamentals of different professions to analysing work routines and roles. Likewise, the students themselves will be able to discover skills they were unaware of, interests they share with colleagues or new opportunities to develop in the future, always bearing in mind that these are fairly realistic goals.
