Find out where your child's talent could lead

It takes a minute. A counsellor calls you, explains the four-month programme and, if you want to go ahead, books an assessment at a time that suits your child.

Career first. Stream and course after.

Most families decide in the order the school year sets: a stream at the end of Class 10, a course at the end of Class 12, and the career somewhere after that. They make those calls with three things in hand: the marks, the relatives' advice and what everyone else's child is taking. Career17 turns the order around. Your child finds the careers that fit, tries them, and then you pick the stream and course that lead there.

Four months, five steps

From "Who am I?" to "What do I do next?"

1

Discover

Who am I?

A psychometric assessment that maps your child's interests, personality, aptitude, EQ and values.

2

Diagnose

Where could I belong?

Your child's results, set against all 16 career clusters and 4,500+ career paths to find the closest fits.

3

Decode

What does this career really look like?

The day-to-day work of each career on the shortlist.

4

Design

Could this be right for me?

Your child takes on short real-world assignments from the shortlist and sees how the work feels.

5

Decide

So, what do I do next?

A personal roadmap to the career, with the stream and course that lead there, a working resume and guidance from counsellors and industry experts.

16 archetypes

Owl or Lion? Find your child's archetype.

The assessment matches your child to two of 16 animal archetypes, a main one and a second one. It then shows the career clusters, job roles and way of learning that fit them.

Questions parents ask

Is this just an online test?

No. The test is step one of five. Over four months your child is matched to careers, learns what each one is like, tries the best fits through real assignments and finishes with a roadmap, with a counsellor alongside them the whole way.

My child is in Class 8. Isn't that too early?

Class 8 is a good time to start. It leaves time to try careers before the stream choice at the end of Class 10.

My child is in Class 11 or 12. Is it too late?

No. The course and college your child picks after Class 12 shape the next four or five years. Your child can still find the career first, then pick the course that leads there.

What does it cost?

It's a paid programme. Your counsellor gives you the full fee on that first call, so you know the cost before you agree to anything.

What happens after I fill in the form?

A Career17 counsellor calls you at the time you chose and answers your questions. If you want to go ahead, they book your child's assessment.

Will today's applause become tomorrow's career?

Find the career first. Then the stream after Class 10 and the course after Class 12 become the steps that get your child there.
