    About this ebook

    In my introduction to this guidebook, i have expounded the principle objective of career guidance as chiefly to make learners understan their capacities and exploit their abilities in their special interests. In this rspect, therefore, i have underatken this project with a view to enjoin School Career Masters to assist students in choosing the right career in their formative years at school level.
    More specifically, i have attempted to inform the student' reader that there is an embroynic relationship between schooling and world of worl in the postschool life. Thus, career masters must duly inform their cahrges that there is a direct relationship between the school subjects we take, and that the type of careers we will aspire for after leaving school are determined the school subjects we excelled in and the grades we attainde in the final exam.
    I have objectively also explored the workable definiton of the terms Career guidance and counseling with a view to assist school career masters in their insduction of their charges. In addtion, i have introduced some topical aspects of human resourses management for the purpose of enlightening the students on how the world of work operates; the reader is enjoined to look for a detailed information on this topic in my other book published here on smashwords titled- Basics of Human Resources in the Job Market: www.samshwords.com/books/view/747801 !

      (i) A. INTRODUCTORY ESSAY – ORIENTATION:

      Main objectives:

      The principle objective of career guidance is chiefly to make learners understand their capacities and abilities in their special interests. Thus, the work of Career master is ideally cut-out as a noble profession of undertaking to specifically assist and readily inform their students about the embryonic relationship between schooling and the world of work.

      The students must not only be made to readily understand the relationship between school –subjects and relevant occupations, but also be duly informed of relevant career information. Thus, career guidance is desired to not only equip learners with vital information about jobs and the job market, but also critical factors of enhancing their employability.

      As a holistic training, career guidance is desired to equip the trainee and inculcate them with the right altitude and attributes of a successful job-seeker in the job- market. Students must be objectively informed that to survive in the world of work, one must also develop and acquire virtues and traits that inform critical work ethics.

      On the test as to whether one will survive in the world of works, students must be made to understand that their curriculum vitaes will evidently reflect not only their altitude to life but also their learned aptitudes and virtues such as honesty, fairness, dependability and resoluteness.

      In careers induction, it is desirable that students should be introduced to topical insights on study-skills, job seeking and life-skills such as interpersonal and time-management skills.

      Those students who desire to pursue excellence in the academics must learn the intricacies of clusters groups of subjects and the formula for discerning the weighted clusters and overall grade aggregates required for various academic programs at institutions of higher learning.

      In careers training sessions, students should also be introduced to the basics of human resources such as The Recruitment and selection processes, how to write impressive job -application letters, How to compile a winning CV and all that it entails. In the end, success of career guidance training program in the schools and tertiary institutions will largely depend on the ability, initiatives and dedication of career master or career counselors and outsourcing in private consultancies.

      PART ONE

      1.0 Definition of Terms:

      Guidance:

      The context of this manual identifies three main terms, i.e. guidance, counseling and training. The term ‘’guidance’’ is a derivative of the noun ‘’guide’’, which means: - to lead or direct in the right way or a person who lead or shows the way or a book/booklet of instructions or practical information.

      Guidance in this sense is the act of leadership either as a parental or moral duty or spiritual calling or professional undertaking. It may involve a branch of educational psychology where the trainer is expected to know the methods of teaching and instructional delivery or science of persuasion by way of empathizing with the learner and effective employment of communication skills on part of the trainer.

      Thus guidance is here understood to imply leadership by way of giving good advice, suggestions or directions to an individual who may likely encounter and/or experience unique problems or difficulties in future. These problem may manifest themselves as either psychological (stress, spiritual or lack of self-esteem or emotional disturbances) or material wants (economic hardships).

      Thus, the vocation of guidance is desired to instill a sense of well-being and influence positive response to the problem and constructive avoidance by the individual who would likely confront it head-on in future.

      Counseling:

      On the other hand, counseling is here taken to mean the act of listening attentively or reaching out to an individual who may be having or experiencing the adverse effects of a problem or hardship or difficulties.

      Training:

      Training as an educational process
