ASSET-Career Guidance Session
Dear Friends
For the past ten years ASSET (Association for Social Studies Educators and Teachers) has been endeavoring to highlight the importance of achieving excellence in the vital field of Social Studies; with the aim to improve the social well being of the teacher as well as students. Keeping this vision in mind this month ASSET is organizing a session on “Career Guidance”. This session will be equally beneficial to the teachers as well as students. The details for the session are as follows:
Overview:
Individual careers will always be a delicate matter where people must carefully plan where they envision themselves or how they see themselves now and after some years from now. Career planning can be a challenging task as individuals are faced with choices, changes, and obstacles such as:
1. How do I decide what type of career goals are right for me?
2. What field of study should I pursue?
3. My career goals are different from what my family thinks they should be.
Objectives:
By the end of this session the participants will be able to:
• Access where the student is and where they are starting from in the career planning process.
• Explore the student’s career interests, values, aptitudes, skills and lifestyle preferences in relation to possible careers.
• Help students realize the importance of setting goals for their future
