As the students navigate through this process, it can get confusing at times for them to make the decisions. Hence, they need to get assistance at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">While the career development professional, such as a career counsellor helps the student attain the end goal i.e. attaining a solution to the problems, the counsellor must consider certain elements while doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">Creating a safe and secure environment ensures that the confidentiality of the information shared by the student will be kept intact. This encourages the students to discuss their dilemmas and problems without any hesitation. It also helps to build a good rapport and trust between the counsellor and the students.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">Helping the students understand their interests, values, strengths\/improvement areas using the relevant psychometric assessment tools. Providing relevant insights helps to develop the confidence in students to work towards overcoming their obstacles.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">While we discuss the role of career counsellors, let\u2019s also deep-dive into \u2018Motivation\u2019 which also is an intrinsic part of counselling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">Motivation is the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented behaviours. It is what causes you to act and involves the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that activate behaviour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">There are three major components of Motivation-Activation, Persistence and Intensity. Helping students understand these components can help them attain their goals timely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">Students have certain habits that are hard to wean off- procrastination, low self-motivation, negligence towards maintaining good mental and physical health and not keeping oneself updated on the latest and emerging career-related developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recommended Read: <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a style=\"color: #800080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcareercounsellor.com\/blog\/top-7-in-demand-tech-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Guide Students for Tech Sector: Top 7 In-Demand Tech Jobs<\/a><\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">All individuals have both extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and many forces guide and direct our motivations. Career counsellors need to evaluate each of their student\u2019s personalities, discuss ambitions and aspirations and develop a plan that is uniquely customised to work for that particular student.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">The first and foremost step in this direction would be to create a career trajectory plan that reflects the student\u2019s short-term\/long-term goals. Your plan should include precise direction on the steps the student must take to reach his\/her goals. The short-term goals could revolve around self-development, requesting information on the various programs, exploring schools\/colleges, planning on college applications and developing a plan for the same. Being involved in the goal-setting process is equally important for career counsellors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">A career counsellor\u2019s responsibility does not end by creating only a career plan for the student. Motivation is an ongoing process hence regular interaction and follow-up is required to assess, motivate, and encourage the students all through. If the students fall behind, a career counsellor can get the students motivated and re-energized by reminding them of their aspirations and working towards achieving them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">Career-related decisions can cause turbulence in a student\u2019s life in the form of anxiety and worry. This can again demotivate students. Helping them stay calm and focused while maintaining a positive attitude throughout will help students gain confidence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">\u2018Career counselling\u2019 takes time, effort and patience and so does \u2018Motivation\u2019. Career counsellors with their persistent efforts can help students find their passion and aspiration leading to motivation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">Read these tips, to understand how can career counsellors motivate students and help students to get motivated in every situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino; color: #000000;\">If you are passionate about helping students make the right career choices and want to enter the career counselling industry, become a Global Career Counsellor.
