Helping people make career decisions have been fundamental to counseling
psychology since its emergence as a profession, and it continues to be central to its
identity today (Gelso & Fretz, 2001, as cited in Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2010).
After acquiring all the knowledge, skills, and attitude and being aware of
their interests and personality types, Grade 12 learners will now choose the curriculum
exit they will pursue after senior high school. Grade 12 learners may choose to work
immediately since they are of legal age and have the competencies to perform a specific
job, or to pursue a business they can start to earn money. They may also proceed to
higher education and pursue a degree course or take up any Technical Education
and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) courses for middle-level skills development.
Employment. Any senior high school graduate who plans to work after senior high
school can check with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in their locality
for possible job vacancies, or they can browse in the Department of Labor and
Employment website, www.ble.dole.gov.ph for possible local employment.
Higher Education. Senior High School graduates who would want to pursue a degree
course in higher education may directly inquire at any colleges and universities in their
area. They may also inquire at www.ched.gov.ph, the official website of the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for the recognized programs of schools per
region.
Middle-Level Skills Development. Senior high school learners who may want to
pursue middle-level skills development after finishing a specific track and strand in
senior high school may inquire at their local TESDA offices for the courses offered in
their locality. Those who went to Technical Vocational Livelihood Track and earned a
National Certification Level II may apply for a higher level of national certification if
they opt to.
Senior high school graduates may go to any curriculum exit regardless of the SHS
track they took. If a learner took up a TVL Track, he/she can still enroll in college to
pursue higher education. Moreover, after entering a specific exit, any SHS graduate
may proceed to another exit. For example, a graduate who chooses to pursue higher
education and gets employed after graduation may enter into a business or pursue
middle-level skills development while employed.
