Problems you prevent (or mitigate) when using Professional Preferences

1.Lack of guidance in subject selection: Career guidance helps students understand how their interests and skills relate to different academic fields, enabling them to make more informed decisions about the subjects they choose to study. 


2.Lack of academic motivation: Discovering areas of interest and potential career paths can increase students' motivation and engagement with their education, as they see how their studies connect with their long-term professional goals. 


3.Limited awareness of educational and career options: Career guidance provides students with information about a wide range of educational and professional opportunities, allowing them to explore paths they may not have previously considered and expand their career horizons. 


4.Mismatch between skills/interests and chosen career: By identifying and better understanding their skills, interests, and values, students can make more informed career choices that align with their strengths and preferences, reducing the likelihood of a mismatch between the individual and their chosen profession.
