Career counselling in schools

Our company has a long-term cooperation with primary schools, secondary schools and universities, where we implement objective, effective and modern career counselling for students.

We believe that prevention of  wrong selection of school or profession is better than resulting retraining or long-term unemployment.

As long-term research shows, every second secondary schools or university graduate in the Czech Republic works in a different field then he or she studied within three years after graduation. Every fourth becomes unemployed.

In the school the career counselling is quite formal. Counselling is only the mapping of students’ interests without relation to the situation in the labour market. The responsibility for  school selection is left to parents, friends or postponed to the future.

Professional diagnostics for schools

Responsible and progressive schools are willing to change the traditional concept  of career guidance. Within the subject Focus on Career Choice the schools involve partners who are employers, Job Centers, consulting agencies and they also provide school career counselors with appropriate instruments.

We offer our career counseling  for this type of schools  and support it with our computer diagnostics COMDI.

More information about this tool is available on www.comdi.cz

Potential of computer diagnosis COMDI in the field of career guidance in schools:

  • simple implementation, operation and low operating costs (school can use their computer classroom)
  • independence from external consultants (testing and results interpretation are performed by trained school employees)
  • compatibility with other school  systems (the system can connect  with school LMS or its intranet)
  • efficiency and speed of the system (group testing, evaluation within 24 hours)
  • security (encryption of data and data transmissions, differentiated user permissions and access)
  • objectivity and validity of the outputs (all tests are standardized, minimizing the influence advisor’s subjective view)
  • feedback surveys (verifying the relevance of the recommendations after the graduate starts to study or work )
  • customer-oriented trade policy (terms and conditions appropriate to the school situation)
