Effectiveness of Career Counseling

Career counseling is commonly seen as a one-way opportunity to rectify an individual’s lack of direction in career or job.

Findings showed that although some participants may find the counseling helpful, the satisfaction level was somewhat low due to the fact that the counseling was not centered on career planning.

This is because cost-effective interventions can reduce costs while maintaining quality.
