My Child Doesn’t Know What to Study: How Can Career Guidance Help?
Choosing a university major can be one of the most challenging decisions for young students. Many feel overwhelmed by the vast number of options, societal pressure, and the fear of making the wrong choice. As parents, we want to guide them without imposing a decision.
This is where career guidance becomes a key tool for our future leaders.
What Is Career Guidance and Why Is It Important?
Career guidance is a process that helps students identify their talents, interests, and personal values to align them with academic and professional options. It is crucial because it:
✔️ Prevents impulsive decisions – Reduces the likelihood of choosing a career due to social pressure or lack of information.
✔️ Encourages self-awareness – Helps students explore what truly excites them.
✔️ Prepares them for the job market – Supports the development of practical skills and an understanding of industry demands.
✔️ Reduces university dropout rates – Many students abandon their studies because they don’t align with their expectations. Career guidance helps minimize this risk.
At Grupo Academia Internacional, we focus not only on providing an integrated education that combines academic knowledge with essential decision-making skills but also on expanding students' opportunities through strategic alliances with prestigious higher education institutions.
What Is ICEF?
Some of our partner institutions are certified by ICEF (International Consultants for Education and Fairs), a globally recognized organization that rigorously evaluates educational agents, academic institutions, and service providers.
ICEF certification ensures high-quality educational opportunities, allowing students to access superior academic programs with credibility and high standards.
Why Do Some Students Struggle to Choose a Major?
There are several reasons why a student may feel lost when choosing a career:
🔹 Lack of self-awareness – They haven’t explored their interests and abilities.
🔹 External pressure – Family, friends, or societal expectations influence their decisions.
🔹 Limited knowledge of options – Many students aren’t aware of the vast range of career possibilities.
🔹 Fear of failure – Anxiety about making the wrong choice and not succeeding in the future.
