Problems you avoid (or mitigate) when you use Professional Preferences


1. Disorientation in choosing subjects: Career guidance can help students understand how their interests and abilities relate to different academic areas, allowing them to make more informed decisions about the subjects they choose to pursue.


2. Lack of academic motivation: By discovering areas of interest and possible related careers, students can feel more motivated and committed to their education, as they see how their studies are connected to their long-term career goals.


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


4. Mismatch between skills/interests and chosen career: By better identifying and understanding their skills, interests, and values, students can make better decisions about choosing a career that aligns with their strengths and preferences, reducing the likelihood of mismatch between the person and their chosen career.
