Centre for Career, Counselling & Guidance (C3G)

What is this project all about?

  • To help students gain self-awareness, where the students learn their interests, values, skills, and personal preferences
  • To link students’ self-awareness to available opportunities—to suitable careers, and their occupational possibilities
  • To help students make decisions, develop action plans and set goals to achieve their chosen careers
  • To help students to plan their job search
