special groups of students, crisis situations and other issues arising from multicultural forces,
globalisation, industrialisation etc. that have implications for guidance and counselling
practices.
Practical Work: The course includes intensive training in practical work integrated with the
theory components which is later conducted and supervised in schools. Enrichment lectures,
seminars, workshops, demonstrations, self-study and reflective sessions are also important
features of the practical training. Field visits and tours are also arranged to provide candidates

Trainees undergo internship in actual work setting to try out and further refine the
understanding and skills acquired from theory and practice.
