Build a meaningful career in guidance and counselling
The Certified Career Counsellor Program prepares professionals to guide students and individuals in making informed, data-backed career decisions using structured counselling frameworks and modern tools. Offered under the Upskill ecosystem by APT Educators LLP, this program combines counselling methodology, ethical practice, and technology-enabled career discovery to create a structured and scalable professional pathway.
This vertical is developed in collaboration with ANGAD: Beyond Obvious
This vertical is powered by ANGAD, a registered brand of Skills Sense EdTech LLP — a technology-driven career discovery platform. ANGAD enables AI-powered psychometric analysis, data-backed career recommendations, counsellor-led structured student profiling, and interpretation. Its Technology–Human–Technology (THT) approach ensures that career guidance is objective, structured, and unbiased, rather than opinion-driven.
