Career Counselling and Guidance Program
“Research suggests that high-quality career counselling services can have long-term desirable effects on a child’s overall well-being leading to an accomplished professional and personal life, as it is based on his inherent qualities along with taking an informed decision. It can keep a student mentally and emotionally healthy preventing him /her from turning to violence, drug or alcohol abuse. High-quality school career counselling services can also give the much needed focus early on thus improving his/her academic achievements.”(U.S. Department of Education, 2002)
Our Career guidance Philosophy
We at KVGS believe that to get the best possible results for our students we need to move past the conventional ways of teaching and start giving students practical assistance. A planned approach on matters of utmost importance such as stream selection and college selection will go a long way in students life guiding his/her success. Students and parents alike are riddled with anxiety when they have to make these important life changing decisions. Expert guidance will help relieve a good portion of these anxieties.
Ultimately, college advisors are what students need most to be successful. To highlight, the urgent requirement for career counsellor’s recent stats show a whopping 92% of students who don't get any career-related guidance from their schools made bad career choices leading to lifelong struggle. Decisions made in High School often make or break a student's career/ life. The main objective of the RISCareer Counselling Program is to reach out; to share and assist the student, teacher and parent community.

The approach to KVGS career counselling is quite structured. Students at KVGS are assisted by a career counsellor in consultation with their parents and teachers in making informed choices.From choice of curricula to subject choices and admission requirements, students are advised
and counselled on the course of action for further studies. The department is also bringing the facilities for coaching for SAT, PSAT. KVGS is fully committed towards ensuring appropriate and accomplished placements in prestigious colleges all over the world for KVGS students.
The school career counsellor’s role in realizing student potential for healthy growth is
focused on the three broad areas of academic, career and personal / social development.
This is the core of the content for the KVGS Comprehensive School Counselling Program,
K–12.
Academic development includes acquiring skills, attitudes and knowledge that contribute to effective learning in school; employing strategies to achieve success in school; and understanding the relationship of academics to the world of work, and to life at home and inthe community. Academic goals support the premise that all students should meet or exceedthe local, state and national / International goals.
Career development goals guide the school counselling program to provide the foundation for the acquisition of skills, attitudes and knowledge that enable students to make a successful transition from school to the world of work and from job to job across the life span. Career development goals and competencies ensure that students develop career goals as a result of their participation in a comprehensive plan of career awareness, exploration and preparation activities.
Personal / social development goals guide the school counselling program to provide the foundation for personal and social growth as students’ progress through school and into adulthood. Personal/social development contributes to academic and career success by helping students understand and respect themselves and others, acquire effective interpersonal skills, understand safety and survival skills and develop into contributing members of society.
