AIM STRAIGHT
Our Career Planning programme will guide you through a structured, step-by-step process that is facilitated over 12 months, allowing you to make an informed decision on the career path you’d like to take.
We help you to think realistically, systematically and long term about your future.
This approach insures that you are well informed about future career trends, demands as well as the different career options.
Equilibria’s Career Guidance programme is offered in two mediums:
Did you know?
University dropout rates in South Africa are astoundingly high, with between 50-60% of first year students dropping out.
How does Equilibria help you make an informed career choice?
We guide you through a systematic and introspective process that helps you to understand your personality type, talents, values and interests. The process includes psychometric tests, narrative testing methods, workbooks and questionnaires.
We guide you through effective career research techniques. This course includes several career interviews, job shadowing and a lot more . You will also be part of a ‘student shadowing programme’ where you attend classes with students at a tertiary institution.
You will receive regular career counselling with Equilibria’s career coach to monitor your progress and help you clarify your career decision.
OUR CAREER GUIDANCE PRINCIPLES
The principles on which the programme is based are aligned with contemporary career counselling practices :
- A developmental approach where career counselling and career guidance are a journey students embark on throughout the duration of the course.
- A student-focused approach that allows students to be independent thinkers in their decision-making process thorough self-discovery and vocational exploration. This is a constructivist approach where students are facilitated through the path of self-realisation and self-actualisation to enable them to become authors of their own story.
- A contextual approach where the student’s unique circumstances e.g. family, personal history, and socio-economic status are taken into consideration. This also includes the wider context, such as the economic outlook of South Africa and the world, career trends, labour market demands, scarce skills, and tertiary institution requirements.
- Reality testing where the individual student’s personality, interests, values, talents and abilities are taken into account to align them to a fitting career path.
