The Next step you take Matters!

The world is filled with various career choices ranging from Medicine to Mass Communications, Engineering to Event Management, Marine Biology to Information Technology. The confusion that students face over which career to pick is understandable.

Are you unsure about your career path?

A large number of students continue to choose a career based merely on the fact that their friends are doing the same thing or because their parents told them to do so. This, however, may not be the best way to go about it.

We at Edwise understand the dilemma of the students while choosing the pathways for higher education. To cater to such needs, Edwise has designed the Academic Pathway Planning Program.

Academic Pathway Planning (APP)

Academic pathway planning is the process of helping individuals know their strengths and weakness, their interests and their abilities in the world of work in order to reach a mature career decision.

It involves assessment in 3 areas:

Aptitude: It is the ability to do well in a given field.

Interest: It defines your likes and dislikes for certain kind of activities and the kind of work you would like to do.

Personality: Our Personality is who we truly are, our character traits, qualities and shortcomings. Awareness of our personality helps us make a career choice.

APP can be undertaken by:

• Students of class X, class XII to decide which stream to select
• Under graduates
• Graduates and above
• For any adult who is planning a career
• For anyone who is uncertain about future academic direction

Advantages of APP:

• Right information in a structured way. It provides the student with the right information in a structured way, so that the student can use the information promptly, enabling them to choose the best career course.
• Open up Choices. APP will open up choices about which the student may not be aware of.
• Gives Confidence. APP gives confidence to the students while making a decision on their future career course.
• Helps understand personality. APP helps students to understand their individual personality that influence their academic decisions.
• Self improvement plan. APP is a self improvement plan for personal development and growth.

What Edwise Students say…

“Prior to the APP test, the only interest I had was Aviation. After undergoing the APP test, I realized, I was not fit for Aviation. The tests showed me that my aptitude, interest and personality was leaning more towards Business Management. I liked the option and in consultation with Edwise, I am pursuing Bachelors in Business Management from LIBT, UK.”

- Shweta Hanspal

“After my graduation, hundreds of emerging career options and different criteria’s admission by different institutions came as a nightmare to me. But after the APP test from Edwise I got a clear view about my career goals. The test helped me decide to go for a designing course which best suited my personality. So after consultation with a counselor from Edwise I am applying for Post Graduate Diploma in Designing in UTS Insearch, Australia.”

- Yazhad Gheesta

---

“After passing my 10th grade, I found it extremely difficult deciding my future aspirations. The Academic Pathway Planning Program test proved to be an excellent ‘guide’ in leading me to the right direction. Using the information the test provide, I was able to choose subjects in the International Baccalaureate program. I would recommend the APP test for all those who are uncertain about their future interests."

- Yash Somani

---

“I was in my last year of graduation and was confused between choosing MS in Computers or a MBA for my higher studies. Then I underwent the Academic Pathway Planning Program test and my results showed me that my aptitude and interest is more inclined towards MBA. So now I am applying for MBA in Northeastern University, USA. APP test really cleared all my confusion and showed me the right path.”

“The edwise mock test for the PTE was amazing and really helped me understand the format of the test and the coaching helped me to thoroughly prepare for the test. “
Saher - PTE Coaching

“I am writing this testimonial to Edwise International and especially to my tutor for PTE. I was tensed before giving my PTE exam because I got my passport late and I had to clear the exam in a single attempt. I explained the situation to her. She helped me a lot. Those two sessions were really very very crucial for me as I scored 77/90 in PTE with 90/90 in speaking. This score has also helped me in getting a part time job in Australia as well. My tutor was very calm, understanding, I am really thankful to Edwise and for the overall experience with a Coaching Dept.”
