Helping Young People Build Informed Futures
Choosing a field of study, university or profession can be one of the most important decisions in a young person’s life. META supports students and young people in understanding their interests, strengths and opportunities so they can make informed and realistic decisions about their educational and professional future.
Our career guidance activities combine self-awareness, exploration, planning and practical information. We aim to help young people move from uncertainty to direction, from scattered ideas to a clearer personal pathway.
Our Approach
Career guidance is not only about choosing a profession. It is a continuous process of discovering personal interests, abilities, values and goals.
META encourages students to:
- Better understand their strengths and interests
- Explore professions and educational pathways
- Learn about universities, study programs and career options
- Develop decision-making and planning skills
- Set realistic academic and professional goals
- Build confidence and personal responsibility
Through workshops, practical programs and motivational activities, META also seeks to strengthen self-confidence, responsibility and professional goal-setting among young people.
Career Guidance Services
Career Orientation Workshops
Interactive workshops help students explore different professions, understand changing labour-market trends and learn how educational choices connect with future careers.

Self-assessment activities help students reflect on their interests, skills, personal characteristics, values and preferred working environments. Where appropriate, META may also use career assessment tools such as MAPP or similar instruments as part of a broader guidance process.
Individual Career Planning
Students can receive structured support in setting goals, comparing options and developing a practical educational and career plan.

Through career fairs, expos, presentations and profession-awareness activities, students can learn directly from volunteers, professionals, universities and other relevant participants.
