Consultation with a career guidance specialist

The choice of profession should not be accidental. It is an important step towards the future in which you want to live, develop, and achieve. Consultation with a career guidance specialist helps you look inside yourself, discover your strengths, see real prospects, and confidently make an informed decision about your own future.

Not just a "professional test"

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, talents, and interests—but often these are so deeply hidden that it’s difficult to discover them on your own. Parents and friends can’t always provide objective advice, and numerous online tests rarely take individual characteristics into account. Meanwhile, choosing a future career is one of the most important steps in life.

A career guidance consultation will help you better understand yourself: discover your interests and abilities, identify your strengths and areas for growth. Together, we’ll choose a career path that truly suits you and in which you can achieve significant results.

The career guidance program is included in our Full Support and Mentoring services, and is also available as a standalone consultation.

Why does an applicant need


career guidance consultation

Career guidance is a deep exploration of your interests, abilities, values, and potential. It’s an opportunity to look within and understand: who do I really want to be, not because “that’s what I was told,” “everyone goes there,” or “they pay more.”

You can undergo career guidance at any age: 15, 25, or 35. This is especially true if you:

You are faced with a choice of university, field of study or program.
You've already made a choice, but you doubt that it's the right one.
You want to change your profession, but don’t know which direction to go.

Together with a career guidance specialist, you will understand what truly inspires and energizes you, and you will also see which professions are suitable for you not only based on your interests, but also based on your thinking style, temperament, and skills.
