Who is this Career Guidance Advice programme for?
ETC Consult’s Comprehensive Career Guidance Programme is for students of 15 years and upwards and adults of all ages, backgrounds, experiences and qualifications. Students often use our services because they are unsure what subjects, courses or future employment options are best for them and adults often use our services because they are fed up, dissatisfied, frustrated or unfulfilled with their current career and they want to know what alternative options would be right for them.
Our career guidance programmes have helped thousands of students and adults in Ireland find and get into more suitable courses and employment options.
How will this programme help you?
Choosing a career that is right for your unique mix of personality traits, interests, aptitudes, values and motivations is one of the most important life decisions you will ever make. The average person spends over 90,000 hours of their life working and you don’t want to waste those hours doing something that isn’t right for you or in some cases, that you actively hate.
This programme is a long-established, professional, comprehensive, one-to-one programme through which our clients receive the best possible advice and support on which career to pursue in life and how to pursue it.
This programme is based on our 35 years of experience in selecting people of all ages, abilities, motivations, personalities, experiences and qualifications for organisations in most sectors of the economy and our equally long experience in providing career guidance services to similar people.
Our vast experience selecting successful candidates for different types of roles ensures that we have a practical knowledge of what types of roles are most suitable for different types of people.

How will this programme help you?
Step 1 - Assessments
Step 2 - Discussion
Step 3 - Written Report
We write and send you a comprehensive Career Guidance Report in which we recap the entire process.
We relate your mix of interests, aptitudes, personality attributes and background information to our database of 1200 careers and the evolving employment market and give you a list of 10 careers that we are confident you will enjoy, be well able to pursue and make a good income from.
Most importantly, we tell you how to get into them – and if further study is recommended, we give you two lists of CAO courses – and others – that lead directly or indirectly into those careers.

Discounts available for students & unwagedCareer Discussion
This programme is for you if you have a fair idea about what you want to do career-wise but you have some concerns and would like to have a professional, trusted and objective view on the implications of your intended course of action.
Some of the typical concerns that we help our customers with are the following:
Is it a good idea?
Are there issues that I have not thought about?
If it is not a good idea, what alternatives do I have?
Is it feasible?
Am I going about it in the right way?
Are there any consequences that I have not thought about?
How does the Career Discussion work?
You have a zoom call discussion with our Occupational Psychologist for 50-80 minutes about what you are thinking of doing.
We provide an objective, experienced opinion about how to go about getting into that career and if we feel that it is not a great idea, we say so and provide alternative options for you.
