CAREER GUIDANCE
Career guidance is a process of assisting someone not sure about what they would like to do for their career. It helps in identifying something one can be passionate about. It also helps to give people better economic opportunities while pursuing their chosen career. There are a number of factors that lead someone to choose certain career paths. Some people have been inspired by others while others believe the monetary prospect in certain careers is lucrative.
Choosing a career is one of the most important aspects of life, as is choosing which university one would want to embark their tertiary education with. Universities we attend, most of the time define people and so equally do the careers we choose. It is one of the most important decisions a person would make once upon a time in life.
Universities usually play an important role in helping prospective students and the general public in matters of career guidance. From the programs offered in universities, universities possess valuable knowledge about which programs would present better career prospects for individuals seeking to acquire tertiary education at their institutions. Lusaka Goldsmiths University has identified four (4) career paths that people would find most fulfilling.
