As the workplace changes, it’s more important than ever before for people to find jobs that enhance their health and well-being. If you’re a student trying to decide on a major, or an employee seeking to make a career change, having appropriate resources and guidance can aid.

But, many people struggle to determine their talents and interests or even figure out how they can best utilize them in a job or career path that fits them. Inaccessible professional guidance and support contributes to high levels of stress, anxiety, depression and burnout as well as other mental health issues in workers.

For this reason, it’s important that career counselors provide effective career guidance to individuals that will help them navigate their career path. These strategies will enable individuals to overcome the obstacles they face, formulate an understanding of their future, and achieve their goals.

This includes ensuring that career guidance services are based on current information about the labour market and assist individuals’ ability to find, analyze, and evaluate job and learning opportunities to make informed career decisions. This can be achieved by the utilization of validated motivational and goal-setting tools built on research-based evidence. It is also possible to achieve this through partnerships with a variety of stakeholders, including learning providers, careers services as well as public employment services or ‘one-stop-shops’. Finally, it can be achieved through the development of effective career management policies and practice.
