Abstract

Our study intends to investigate novel approaches and strategies for assisting high school students in choosing their career routes. Our methodology blends theoretical foundations with empirical verification, integrating unconventional methods that, although controversial in scholarly circles, present fresh insights. In light of the significant changes in public discourse that have occurred in the 21st century, it is critical that the country’s youth get good career guidance. The process of determining one’s life and career path begins well in advance of enrolling in a university or college, frequently in the early years of education. Therefore, it becomes necessary for comprehensive schools to create settings that support sound vocational orientation and self-discovery. Considering the current trends, it is imperative that our educational institutions improve the caliber of job counseling. We have incorporated components of the approaches advocated by a well-known German consultant, coach, and speaker who is well-known throughout the world and whose works have had a lasting impact on the area.
