A decision we make too young to make it correctly. However, we have a suggestion on how to make this decision easier for your children and help them make the right choice.
Having just a diploma is no longer enough.
Today’s employers are looking for people with relevant skills who can adapt and keep learning. For young people choosing a secondary or higher education school, this environment can be confusing. Making the right decision at the start, however, can influence their entire future career. This is where career counseling comes into play.
Our mission at Talent Solutions is not only to connect companies with talent but also to help talents discover their true potential. We recognize that choosing the right school is the first and most important step toward success.
Why is traditional counseling losing its relevance?
Many still rely on advice from parents or teachers. Although their intentions are good, they often lack a deep understanding of the current job market.
According to a Gallup survey, only 30% of graduates reported feeling supported at school in finding their life’s purpose. This often leads to frustration and changing fields of study.
Modern career counseling works differently. It is a professional, data-driven process that helps identify and maximize an individual’s potential.
What does modern career counseling look like in practice?
Quality counseling is a comprehensive process that uses proven tools and analytical methods:
- Psychometric assessment: No guessing. We use standardized psychometric tests that objectively evaluate interests, personality traits, and innate abilities. Thanks to these, we can accurately determine which professions align with a student’s personality and skills.
- Labor market analysis: A quality counselor knows the current trends. They understand which industries are growing and offer high salaries, and which professions are declining in relevance. This information transforms theoretical study options into real and promising career paths.
- Career adaptability development: Our goal is not just to help you choose a school, but to equip you with tools that will serve you throughout your life. We teach students how to adapt to changes, seek new opportunities, and continue learning.
Concrete data confirming the need for change
Surveys from Slovakia show that up to 23% of university students do not complete their studies within the expected time. The main reason is often the wrong choice of field, leading to demotivation. Quality counseling can significantly reduce this risk.
And what does the future hold? Up to 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 do not yet exist (Institute for the Future, Dell Technologies). This highlights why it is more important to learn how to learn and be flexible than to focus solely on a single specific field.
What does this mean for your future?
Choosing the right school is not just an academic decision. It is the first step toward a fulfilling and successful career. At Talent Solutions, we believe that everyone has unique talent, and it is important to discover it early. Career counseling is an investment in the future that will pay off in the form of confidence, motivation, and professional success.
If you are considering choosing a school or need help with career guidance, our team of professionals will be happy to assist you.
