Around the world, students’ needs are always present and evolving. They require the assistance of a Guidance Counselor to unlock their various capabilities. Counselors help students access their potential and enable them to develop their life purposes, formulating plans for actions that will lead them to become independent and responsible adults in society.

Guidance and Counseling services provide support and opportunities in this integral part of the learning environment, constituting a continuous educational process that ensures students’ prospects.

As an integral part of education, our program is aimed at the following objectives:

1. CAREER GUIDANCE: The College’s Guidance and Counseling department guides students in making realistic vocational choices through the administration of vocational interest-based questionnaires and the analysis of responses, taking into account the student’s strengths, abilities, and academic performance. When students understand their interests, aptitudes, opportunities, and weaknesses early on, they are more likely to become successful men and women in their chosen careers.

2. CAREER FAIR: Students participate in educational visits to meet and interact with professionals from various fields. This exposure to the real world helps shape their mindsets. Additionally, we organize seminars, talk-shows, and career-focused activities. Below is the schedule for the 2023/2024 two-day Career Program:

3. PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING: The mental well-being of our students is of utmost importance to us. The Guidance and Counseling department ensures that students undergo an organized, fun-based orientation program upon admission. This program plays a crucial role in preparing their minds for success. Ultimately, our comprehensive program equips Cherryfield students to be psychologically fit to face the diverse challenges of today and tomorrow.

4. SOCIAL ADEPTNESS: The college organizes social activities to boost students’ confidence and promote healthy relationships. Our department teaches them to respect one another and helps them adapt with ease to the school environment. A psychologically sound student adapts easily to the school environment and learns with minimal struggles. Our Guidance and Counseling services are dedicated to resolving students’ emotional, educational, and personal social problems. We achieve this through various psychological tests, counseling sessions, awareness campaigns, and engaging fun-based programs.

At Cherryfield College, our Guidance and Counseling services are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically successful but also socially and psychologically equipped to excel in their future endeavors.
