Empowering Inclusive Career Guidance: Introducing Our Comprehensive Training Modules

With an ever-changing world today, career guidance professionals have evolved to be more than just a scout helping individuals pick a path. Today, it includes building inclusivity, breaking stereotypes and creating equitable opportunities for all. Under a new initiative, we aim to change this by releasing a series of highly customisable training modules specifically targeted towards the professionals who hold the keys to this field.

These modules aim to equip career guidance practitioners with the tools and knowledge needed to address gender bias, promote equality, and support diverse career pathways. With a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical applications, they are designed to make a meaningful impact both in learning and in practice.
