Career Guidance Week

Frank Parsons is the founding father of Vocational Guidance. He created the first methodology of
Career Guidance which now serves as a guide in conducting the Career Guidance week among
schools. He developed the approach to help students acquire the attitude, skills and knowledge that
will help them understand themselves. This will also help them in exploring post-secondary education
and career options that will eventually result into making informed decisions with developing plans to
achieve career aspirations.
Tubod National High School yearly conducts a Career Guidance Week to Grade 10 and Grade 12
students. This is facilitated by the Guidance counselors, Grade 10 and 12 advisers, and speakers
invited by the guidance counselors. Students will have a chance to rediscover and assess themselves
and eventually find out their strengths and weaknesses. This will help them decide on what career path
to choose after graduation.
Mr. Charles Matthew T. Japitan, the Senior High School Guidance Counselor distributed the 8 modules
to the teachers who served as the facilitators of the entire process. The modules consist of varied
activities that help them discover and focus on their strength by identifying their intelligence based on
the Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner. Their NAT Results were also distributed
