Choose your educational and professional careers that best fit your personality. Teaches You
How to develop the basic skills required for you to grow as a student and professional. The First Comprehensive Programme for Student Counseling in Pakistan
God has created every human being with a distinct personality. Choosing educational and professional careers according to one’s personality, skills, interests and aptitude is the key to success in life. Unfortunately, there is no sound system in place for counseling and guidance of school-going children in Pakistan. As a result, students go for those subjects that do not match their mental aptitudes. Not surprisingly, they become frustrated and feel like being wasted. Feeling a dire need for career counseling and guidance of students, AFAQ has designed a comprehensive programme to help students clear the obstacles in choosing their careers. Being tailored to individual needs, this programme will lead to personality development of students and polish up their skills required to prosper in life.  Affiliating with AFAQ’s Career Guidance and Counseling Services will not only help students perform better, but will also go a long way towards achieving the school’s mission and improving its standing.
