What is Career Guidance?

This service is designed to help people make their own career decisions, based on a programme of objective assessment of:

  • Occupational Skills and Abilities
  • Knowledge
  • Career Interests
  • Motivation & Values
  • Personal Style
  • Special Requirements
Can Career Guidance help me?

Professional help can provide a valuable catalyst, enabling people at differing stages in their career to identify and move towards their desired career goals:
  • Choosing a career
  • Changing career
  • Developing their career
  • Seeking a new challenge
  • Returning to work after a period of absence
  • Choosing examination subjects or an educational or training course
  • Reassessing options following redundancy or a period of unemployment

Having reviewed their circumstances with an impartial third party, many people find they can make career decisions with increased confidence.

THE FOUR STAGES OF CAREER GUIDANCE

  1. Self-Assessment
    Following a short initial discussion and gathering of background information, you complete an agreed selection of occupational tests and questionnaires, chosen to provide unbiased information relevant to your individual circumstances.

  2. Identifying Options and Opportunities
    At a subsequent meeting, the results of the questionnaires are discussed. Possible options and opportunities for the future are identified. A report detailing the information gathered via the questionnaires and incorporating the discussion is provided.

  3. Personal Research
    You now have time to research and explore possible options on you own, developing career ideas and clarifying opportunities. We assist by guiding you towards suitable sources of information, including our career reference library.

  4. Decision-Making and Action Planning
    At a final meeting, progress is reviewed jointly and a plan agreed which identifies steps to be taken towards career goals. A supplementary report outlining the main conclusions is provided.
In Conclusion

The Keil Centre Career Guidance Service aims to provide you with the means to make your own career decisions and take control of your future career direction, at your chosen pace.
