How teachers can be great career counselors:

Teachers always try to work for the betterment of their students— they want to figure out which profession is the best for each individual. For this, they have to follow the instructions to know the aptitude of each of your students.

• Teachers can conduct a class survey to know the priority profession of each student. Then discuss with each student— why he/she wants to join a particular profession.
• Being a teacher, you can discuss various professions twice a week. You can also discuss the abilities and education required for a particular profession. What kind of abilities do your students need to join a particular profession?
•  When teaching a particular subject class— you can give two to three examples of the successful professionals of the particular subject. You can also discuss the achievement of some professions—  what kind of hardship these individuals faced in grooming their careers. This would encourage your students. 
• Conduct regularly the interaction session— where you communicate the pros and cons of various professions. These sessions would be great for your students to understand the requirements of the various professions—  and how they can prepare themselves to join a profession of their dreams.
• Teachers are in a great position to motivate their students— how successfully they can join a profession—and how they can improve themselves to join a particular profession. Students would exactly know—what they have to do to join a profession of their choice. 

Teachers should be fair— when they are talking with the parents of the students. They should clearly describe— what is the exact position of their children—how they are trying to cope with the deficiencies of a particular student. What kind of profession is the best for their child? The PTMs should be a meaningful—and interactive session.

Teachers should encourage their students how they can research about a topic—how they can polish their skill— it should be encouraged in schools—if a student is researching a particular topic—teachers should be in complete collaboration with such shining students.

Teachers are always in the best position— to choose and direct a career for their students. This is because they know exactly— the strengths and pitfalls of their particular students. When teachers take a personal interest in the betterment of students— they also respond positively. Institutions having a strong teacher-student relationship can foster tremendously.
