Venue:Lecture Hall, PDS Boys Attock
Audience:Students of 10th Class
Topic:Choosing the Right Career After Matric
A Career Counseling Seminar was conducted for students to help them make informed decisions regarding their future educational and career pathways after Matric. The session focused on self-awareness, interests, skills, personality, aptitude, career options, and Holland’s RIASEC Career Theory. Students were introduced to various educational streams and emerging career fields, while also discussing common factors behind career confusion such as family expectations, peer influence, lack of awareness, and social media.
The seminar included interactive activities such as My Dream Career, RIASEC Quick Check, Career Options Mind Map, SWOT Analysis, Self-Reflection, and Goal Setting to encourage students to actively explore their strengths, interests, abilities, and career aspirations.
The session concluded by encouraging students to make informed and realistic career decisions based on their interests, abilities, personality, and future goals rather than simply following peer pressure or societal expectations. Students were also motivated to explore different career options, seek appropriate guidance, and develop a clear educational and career plan for their future.
