At KENNEDY HIGH the global school, career counseling is a continuous and holistic process that nurtures the academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development of each student. 

Career guidance at KENNEDY focuses on building self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-direction. Activities are thoughtfully designed across various life stages to promote life skills, knowledge building, and self-awareness, assess interests, aptitudes, strengths, and areas for growth, and encourage students to explore a wide range of career possibilities.

Teachers play a vital role by sharing their own career journeys— illustrating the link between academic choices, skills, personal values, and professional paths. Students are encouraged to explore the relationship between subjects, hobbies, and potential careers, fostering curiosity and informed decision-making with self-discipline and progressive mindset.

Career information is imparted through:

• Career talks and assessment by school counselors
• Expert sessions featuring professionals from various fields
• Alumni mentoring to share real-life experiences and guidance
• University visits to gain exposure to higher education options
• Access to career resource books, handbooks, magazines, autobiographies, and success stories related to diverse professions and competitive exams.

At KENNEDY, the aim is to empower students to become confident, self-directed individuals ready to shape as well as navigate their futures by developing core values, clarity and purpose, thus enabling them to make informed decisions.

As part of the ongoing Career Guidance and Counseling initiatives at KENNEDY HIGH the global school, two informative and engaging sessions were organized by ‘The Career Valley’, on 26 June 2025, to help students explore academic and career opportunities in various fields.
