Career guidance and counselling programmes aim at helping the students to be more informed and to give them better educational and career choices. Among other things, programmes offer information on higher course offerings, career options, the type of academic and occupational training needed to succeed in the workplace, and post secondary opportunities that are associated with their field of interest. Programmes also often provide teachers, administrators, and parents with information they can use to support student's career exploration and post-secondary educational opportunities.
