KUCCPS offers five career guidance tips to use selecting a course
Candidates for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam left the classroom with a goal in mind and a lot of energy as they entered what they hope would be a bright future.
However, choosing a career path will have a significant impact on the chances for that future.
It’s possible that some particular pupils have already benefited from expert counsel, thus this issue will probably be covered by others much later.
Although it’s desirable to start the career guidance process in the first years of post-primary education, it’s never too late to locate a suitable vocation.
As there are academic fields in tertiary institutions, there are many job options.
Individual tastes differ even more.
When picking a career route, take these eight factors into account.
1. Your passions and interests
Finding your passion is a journey all on its own, so don’t give up if you haven’t discovered it yet.
Make sure you continue to try new things. It will arrive even though you have to build it. A career that reflects your interests requires you to commit to a life of professional contentment.
2. Accessibility of Courses
The purchasing power of those who dare to dream depends on their choice of career.
Many students put their financial future ahead of their own interests in favor of seeking lucrative careers. A satisfying and fulfilling work life depends on having a well-planned out career.
3. Your Performance
Academic excellence in the subjects leading to the desired vocation is required.
4. Work availability
You should do your study and stay current on the kinds of vocations that never go out of style or the jobs that technology will eventually replace before choosing a job or career path.
You should stay away from applying for temporary employment that don’t offer any job satisfaction if you find it to be exhausting.
5. Your personality type
Understanding your personality makes it possible for you to appreciate your feelings, actions, and cognitive processes.
For instance, if you enjoy working alone, you’ll probably enjoy a job that demands you to be very organized and adhere to a rigid schedule.
