“When asked about how they would like to receive advice and guidance, 72% [of students] said they preferred to talk to someone face to face about it, 12% to receive online support and 6% to talk to someone over the phone.” November 2008 CFE report: Contribution of Face-to-Face Advice and Guidance vs Access to Information
The Benefits of Working with CareersInc
Our professional service is tailored to your specific needs and budget and delivered in person, not online or over the phone. Our goal is to help and encourage students to reach higher and achieve their potential. We help students understand the options available and provide support in making the right choices for their future, as well as helping them build their confidence and self-esteem.
