Faculty of Education

About Department

Education is a multifaceted process that not only aims to equip young generations with the knowledge, skills, and competencies required in the labor market, but also plays a vital role in shaping their personal development. It fosters the growth of positive personal traits, values, and attitudes that are essential for becoming responsible, self-aware, and fulfilled individuals. One crucial dimension of this developmental journey is the preparation for future professional roles and the acquisition of career management skills. In today’s dynamic and ever-changing job landscape, it is essential for young people to adopt a proactive, reflective, and analytical approach to choosing a career path. This means making informed decisions that align with their personal qualities, interests, and abilities, while also considering the evolving demands of the labor market. Such an approach enables individuals to plan sustainable and fulfilling careers that offer both personal satisfaction and long-term employability. Our Professional Orientation and Career Counseling program is designed to prepare students to support individuals in navigating their career paths and achieving their professional goals. Through coursework in counseling theories, career development models, and assessment techniques, students develop the skills and knowledge needed to provide effective, client-centered career guidance and counseling. With an emphasis on ethical standards, cultural sensitivity, and advocacy, graduates are equipped to empower clients from diverse backgrounds to make informed career decisions and thrive in their chosen professional fields.
