What is the role of a Guidance-Counselor in the admission process?
When the prospect is undecided about the career or program to choose, it is important to refer to a Guidance-Counselor for career exploration guidance to help this prospect find his/her career. Eventually, this will increase retention and career completion rates.
Patricia,
It is time well spent! You will find that the student will have a stronger commitment when they have a larger understanding. Persistence to maintain their goal is a long road with many ups and downs.

The reole of a guidance-counselor is to help a student explore their options and encourage them to research careers based on their skills and interest as well as potential outcomes. If you spend the time assisting a student make the right decision, they will feel confident and stick to their goal to graduate. My personal goal as an advisor is to always help that student put a plan together to prepare for their journey as they pursuit their degree and see the big picture after graduation and beyond.

Understanding what lies ahead after graduation is important part of program selection. Knowing what available positions are there based on the degree is an important factor.
