Le orientation assessment
A structured process that helps students navigate their choice of studies and future career. Here's how it develops based on the points mentioned:
1. Reduce the scope of possible studies
Personal interests
Identify what the individual is passionate about. For example, if someone loves the sciences, they could go for a course in biology, chemistry or engineering. If the arts or languages are more appealing, then studies in literature, foreign languages or visual arts could be suitable.
Academic strengths and weaknesses
A good career guidance assessment takes into account academic performance. If a student excels in maths, studies in engineering, economics or finance could be relevant. On the other hand, difficulties in the humanities could lead to courses that are less dependent on these subjects.
Tastes and preferences
What you like or dislike in everyday life may reflect professional inclinations. For example, an appreciation of organisation and detail may indicate an interest in management or law.
2. Examine concrete studies
First year in law
This year concentrates on the basics of civil, criminal, administrative and European law, often with courses on legal methodology and case analysis, but there are also many non-legal courses in BAC1 😉
Medicine
The first year includes courses on anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and introductions to clinical practice, preparing students for more in-depth and practical studies, a first year whose theoretical and personal pitfalls should not be underestimated.
Solvay
Courses in management, finance, strategy and marketing, with a strong emphasis on research and innovation, but also accounting, stats and physics, which is not necessarily for everyone.
Social worker
Studies often begin with courses in psychology, social work and social legislation, and internships to gain an understanding of the field.
3. Career choice and prospects
What job?
This choice depends on the previous assessment. For example, an interest in people and justice could lead to law or social work; a passion for technology and problem solving to engineering or computer science.
What are the prospects?
Law : Lawyer, notary, judge, legal adviser. Medicine: General practitioner, specialist, medical research. Business school (Solvay): Consultant, project manager, entrepreneur, financial analyst. Social work: social worker, guidance counsellor, family mediator.
In a nutshellThe aim of the career guidance assessment is to guide students towards an informed choice of study, based on in-depth self-knowledge and a realistic understanding of the job market and academic reality.
