Career Counseling

Effective career counseling takes time. We at Roots College International RCI realize that talking over and clarifying your thinking about career development and choices can be complex. We appreciate that you may want to address how your personal, home and college academic ‘lives’ influence one another. We are therefore sensitive to the way you feel at this important time. Our dedicated career counselors have professional qualifications and global experience in career counseling and student mentoring services.

At RCI you will have a number of one-to-one meetings with an experienced and trained Career Counselor. We also make use of aptitude tests, questionnaires and ‘self appraisal exercises’ which can highlight potential, skills, interests and personality. These can be useful to help you assess the suitability of different career opportunities, subject combinations and university course selection.

Meetings are usually arranged with the directors, headmistresses and senior Academic coordinators those have vast experience in understanding global academic offerings and how potentially to bridge the career choice by selecting the right international or national university while sitting at RCI Pakistan. We also offer support and advise on global qualifications including SAT, GRE, GMAT and English Language Courses.
