Your role as a student counsellor
“Guiding to growth, self-confidence and appropriate choices.”
As a student counselor, you help students find their way in education and beyond. Whether you work as a career guidance counselor, study advisor, student coach, mentor or internship supervisor, you stand alongside the student. You support them in discovering their talents, developing their skills and making choices that suit them. In doing so, you look beyond grades and credits: you see the person behind the student. That is precisely why you play a key role in students’ academic success.
Inclusive education
“Everyone’s talent counts.”
Students differ in pace and manner of learning. Some need extra support to see and take advantage of opportunities. As a tutor, you offer space for personal stories, alternative routes and learning styles. This way, every student, with or without additional support needs, gets the chance to develop themselves and make choices that are truly appropriate.
Career counseling
“From qualities to future steps.”
An internship or job starts with knowing who you are and what suits you. Career guidance counselors and student coaches help students explore their qualities, interests and doubts. You make career skills concrete and discussable, and guide students in preparing for an internship or job application. Study counselors work on study skills, planning and structure so that students can actually achieve their goals. Internship supervisors guide the move to practical experience, from preparation to reflection and evaluation, and help students grow in a professional environment.
Student Wellbeing
“Wellbeing as a basis for education.”
A student who feels good about himself makes choices more easily. But performance pressure, stress or uncertainty can reduce that space. Study career counselors, mentors and student coaches identify stress, uncertainty or motivation problems and offer a listening ear. By offering calmness and confidence, you help students stay on track or take a break.
