Careers Guidance

Careers Guidance is a process of assessment and reflection that helps a young person get to know themselves better, understand their interests, aptitudes and personal characteristics, and make better-informed decisions about their academic and professional path.
It is intended mainly for students in the final years of basic education and in secondary education, at moments when decisions must be made about fields of study, courses or career plans.
The assessment brings together different dimensions, building an overall understanding of the young person, namely:
- Cognitive functioning and intellectual potential;
- Personality characteristics;
- Interests, motivations and values;
- School and occupational aptitudes;
- Goals and plans for the future.

More than identifying a profession, we seek to understand which academic and professional settings best match each young person's characteristics, resources and aspirations.
At the end of the process a detailed technical report is produced, followed by a feedback and consultancy session to bring the results together, answer questions and support decision-making, involving the young person and, where appropriate, their family.

Choosing an academic or professional path is one of the first major decisions of adolescence. And it is often lived as though it were final.
We believe there is no single right path, nor a "perfect" profession for each person. The choices we make reflect who we are at a given moment in our lives, and they can evolve as we grow, learn and change.
Our commitment is not to tell a young person what to choose. It is to help them know themselves better, so they can decide with greater awareness, autonomy and confidence.
Careers guidance does not end with administering tests or handing over a report. That is why the process includes a consultancy session, in which the results are discussed individually, answering the questions of the young person and their family, exploring the different possible paths and supporting a genuinely informed decision.
Rather than looking for ready-made answers, we believe good careers guidance should help each young person develop the capacity to reflect on themselves, recognise their resources and build, with freedom and responsibility, their own life project.
The whole process is developed with scientific rigour, ethical responsibility and absolute respect for the singularity of each person. We choose, every day.
Careers guidance does not seek to decide anyone's future. It seeks to help each young person make, in the present, a choice that is more aware, better informed and more consistent with who they are.
