CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING

SCOPE OF GUIDANCE
1. Complex nature of personality.
Industrialisation brings with it a number of tensions such as adjustment with
the job, with the place of work, with the physical and social environment, and also
with the advancements of technology and modernisation. To cope with all these,
guidance is essential. So the scope of guidance in the field of adjustment with
almost all spheres of life has increased.
2. Complexity of Occupation.
In the process of industrialisation, automation and cybernetics, many new
occupations are coming up and a few old occupations are dying. In U.S.A., an
average man changes seven occupation through his life. The trend is bound to
effect as the process of development will need very complex sophisticated and
complicated occupations for which higher educational background and intensive
training will be necessary. This complexity is bound to increase the scope of
guidance in so many ways.
3. Complexity of Training.
For the new jobs, new type of training, new courses of studies, use of new
types of machines and above all to prepare oneself for employment in the
changing world are some of the problems which will have to be tackled in an
effective way, with the help of guidance. The scope of guidance will be to put right
man in the right job.
4. Increasing Areas.
With the passing of time and complexity of circumstances, scholars like
Brewer have prepared about 10 areas of guidance i.e., educational, vocational,
religious, home relationship, citizenship, leisure time and recreation, personal wellbeing, right doing, cooperation and cultural action. The fact remain that more
complex the society, more will be the need for guidance.
5. Migration.
Because of industrialisation process, people move from one state to other
states. In India, the states are quite different in their religion, culture, mode of
living, dress, eating habits and marriages. When they move from one social set up
to another one, the problem of adjustment becomes serious for which guidance is
needed. The similar types of adjustment problems are found when the people from
one country migrate to another country for employment, education or training, for
which guidance if required.
6. The Expansion of Education.
The days are gone when only a few privileged were to be educated. Now,
education has become asset for the nation and right placement of persons need a
lot of guidance.
7. Areas of guidance.
The Scope of guidance is classified into several areas where and individual
needs guidance. These areas can be classified into educational guidance,
vocational guidance, personal guidance, social guidance, vocational guidance and
Health guidance.

Thus guidance is a continuous, complex, dynamic and comprehensive process.


Guidance is concerned with educational, vocational and other problems along with
personal problems. Guidance work can occur anywhere and can be provided even
through magazines, books and correspondence.
