Educational
guidance

Deciding on a school or a training program is not always easy and asking 14 or 15-year olds to choose their academic and/or professional training program at such a young age is rather surprising.

As parents, it is also difficult to properly assist our children in this process. Distinguishing interests from abilities or making the connection is not easy, nor is choosing between what one loves to do (or would like to do) and a potential labour market outcome.

Even if an academic path can always be changed, the process has serious financial repercussions. The government as well as parents often have to pay for these changes, which can cost a fortune. When it comes to those benefitting from student financial assistance, the impact on their long-term indebtedness as well as the time they lose on the job market can translate into thousands of dollars. Ultimately, how can we lower the risks related to making the wrong choices and how can we find realistic, achievable solutions? The answer is simple:

Our guidance counsellors will help you:

  • Review the situation and assess the needs and stresses experienced by the student;
  • Evaluate the student’s real interests and abilities, taking his dreams and current job market opportunities into account;
  • Find realistic, achievable choices that are explained simply and clearly (thorough understanding of the ins and outs);
  • Obtain relevant information on the job market and training programs available to meet the student’s objectives and reflect his choices;
  • Establish an action plan to complete all steps with confidence;
  • Obtain personalized assistance (including information to parents) when carrying out the action plan.
