You can get it right!
Choosing a career is becoming increasingly difficult every year and this is why the CTU Career Campus would like to make itself available
to you for the purpose of assessing needs and answering any queries, thus enabling you to make the correct career choice.
High Costs of wrong career choice...
Most young people leave school with only a vague knowledge of employment opportunities and with little insight on the most appropriate
career direction for their abilities, interests and personalities. A large number of school leavers receive no training at all beyond school
and become virtually unemployable.
The solution lies in proper career guidance and assessment at grade 11 level. This is standard in most first world countries, and would help alleviate much of this hardship and unnecessary expense. It could also play an important role in reducing the high unemployment rate. With the aid of modern technology and the use of Psychometric assessments, choosing the wrong career at an early age should be a thing of the past. But, somehow, this doesn’t always happen.
One should however be aware that these assessments are not perfect and you should be careful before basing a career choice on the
results produced. For a Psychometric assessment to be effective in career guidance and HR Development, it needs to:
- Combine ability, personality and interest in ways that can be made transparent for the end user
- Meet ethical and legislative requirements
- Be affordable, flexible and user friendly
- Provide input into possible career suitability based on realistic measures
