The Future of
Career Counselling
India has the largest student population in the world,
accounting for over 350 million students. The nation needs
a whopping 1.5 million career counsellors to maintain a
globally accepted student-to-counsellor ratio. This provides
a wide scope for passionate professionals and budding
entrepreneurs to enter the market.
02

Robust Demand for

Career Counsellors

"
Recent reports indicate that the biggest concern for
schools is the lack of career counselling cells that enable
counsellors to guide students. Around 85% of students
are concerned about which option to choose for higher
education and 92% don’t get any career-related guidance
from their schools.

Growing Need
The need for career counselling is on the
rise with the increasing ambiguity around
career choices among students today. The
market size in India for career assessment
and guidance is currently estimated at
over ₹ 5,000 Crore and continuously
growing. Thus, this is a great time to
enter this booming sector and gain an
early-mover advantage serving a
relatively untouched market.

Steps to Become a Successful

Career Counsellor in India:
Step 1: Complete your undergraduate degree

Step 2: Upskill with a structured training program

Step 3: Get hands-on experience

 08

Step 1: Complete your undergraduate

degree
This is a stepping stone to start working as a professional. Be it in
the fields of Psychology, Science or Arts, anybody with a minimum
qualification of an Undergraduate degree can pursue Career
Counselling in India. You can choose to study further or pursue an
online course while already working as Counsellor as well.

Note: If you are keen on becoming a Career Counsellor right after

graduation, then save your time by pursuing an online course that
provides a structured form of knowledge & training in the field of
Career Counselling.
 09

Step 2: Upskill with a structured

training program
To successfully practice career counselling in India, you need to
strengthen your base. Those who have completed their B.A/ M.A
Psychology might find it easier to start working as a behavioural
counsellor, but to become a Career Counsellor they will still require
the right training and credibility. Non-teaching and non-psychology
background individuals can also become career counsellors with
the right training.

The Global Career Counsellor program by Univariety in collaboration

with UCLA Extension is India’s most preferred online course for
career counsellors.
 10

Step 3: Get hands-on experience

If followed correctly, Steps 1 & 2 will automatically bring you to
Step 3. To start practicing career counselling, one must have the right
knowledge, skill-set, confidence, and some amount of exposure or
experience. The Global Career Counsellor program provides candidates
with hands-on experience. You will:

Attend expert sessions online

Shadow live chats with Univariety’s expert counsellors
Gain exposure by accompanying & sometimes conducting workshops
Meet industry experts in workshops and learn directly from them
Access first-hand information about counselling and education
industry updates
