University & Career Counselling

College and Career Guidance at Tesla Education

At Tesla Education, we are deeply committed to preparing our students not only for academic success in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), but also for their future university and career pathways. Our comprehensive college and career guidance programme is designed to support DP students as they explore higher education opportunities and professional directions, providing them with the personalized counseling, resources, and tools they need to make informed and meaningful decisions about life after graduation.

Rooted in the values of the IB learner profile, our approach fosters internationally minded, reflective, and goal-oriented learners who are well-prepared to navigate the complex and dynamic world of higher education and global careers.

Comprehensive College and Career Guidance Programme

Our college and career guidance services complement the academic rigour of the DP by helping students identify their strengths, interests, and aspirations. Through individual support, interactive workshops, and exposure to diverse pathways, students are empowered to discover their passions and chart a course toward their future goals.

Key components of the programme include:

• College and university exploration and application support
• Career awareness and exploration opportunities
• Guidance on scholarships and financial aid
• Internship and work experience connections
• Workshops and seminars to develop essential skills

University Exploration and Application Support

The transition from secondary education to university can be both exciting and challenging. Our dedicated College Counselor works closely with students to guide them through every stage of the college application process, helping them research universities worldwide, select institutions that align with their academic and personal goals, and complete applications with confidence.

We provide tailored support on:

• Identifying universities that match students’ academic interests, learning styles, and preferred environments
• Navigating application systems for different countries (including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and others)
• Preparing personal statements, essays, and application materials
• Preparing for interviews and entrance requirements
• Managing timelines and deadlines to ensure applications are completed on time

Additionally, our teachers support students by providing thoughtful and individualized letters of recommendation to strengthen their applications.

Career Awareness and Development

We believe that career exploration is an essential aspect of a student’s educational journey. Through one-on-one counseling, career-focused workshops, and access to professional networks, we help students reflect on their interests, explore potential pathways, and connect their learning with real-world opportunities.

Students benefit from:

• Career counseling sessions to explore interests, strengths, and values
• Personality and career assessments to identify suitable professions
• Career fairs and networking events with professionals from various industries
• Guest speaker sessions featuring alumni and industry experts
• Exposure to diverse global career paths that align with IB’s international outlook

Internships and Work Experience Opportunities

Hands-on experience plays a valuable role in preparing students for the world beyond school. We actively support students in seeking internships, job shadowing placements, and volunteer opportunities that complement their academic studies and personal goals. These experiences help students develop transferable skills, gain insights into different fields, and strengthen their resumes for university applications.

Our College Counselor assists students with:

• Identifying and applying for internship opportunities
• Crafting professional resumes and preparing for interviews
• Learning workplace etiquette and communication skills
• Building professional networks through alumni and community connections

Scholarships and Financial Aid Guidance

Understanding the financial aspects of higher education is critical for many families. We provide students and parents with guidance on researching scholarships, applying for grants, and navigating financial aid systems in various countries.

Support includes:

• Identifying scholarships based on academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, and personal background
• Assisting with scholarship applications and essays
• Providing guidance on applying for government and institutional financial aid (e.g., FAFSA, UCAS bursaries)
• Offering workshops to educate families about funding options and timelines
