"When I enrolled at Teen Theory, I got absolute clarity on my career choices. Their sessions helped me make the best use of my high school years!"
- Aditya Soni (Our Student From Jaipur)
At Teen Theory, we wish for each student to be a leader and not a follower.
Every student has unique passions, talents, values, and skills. Our counsellors are dedicated to helping you find your "zone of genius" – that sweet spot where your abilities and interests perfectly align. By deeply analyzing what excites you, what you are naturally good at, and what you value most, we help you uncover your true potential.
My time at Teen Theory was filled with learning and growth, where I had the most amazing mentors. It provided me with a great opportunity to learn from inspiring counsellors who guided me towards a career path I’m confident about.

6-Step Career Discovery Process
After the Career Discovery Process, students come up with a decision that they own up to. A career choice that they can claim for themselves. A roadmap that defines their next steps. A strategic plan of action that helps them understand the college landscape.
Understand Our Career Discovery Process
1. Reflect
This initial stage fosters a bond between our counsellors and your child, resulting in more meaningful and thought-provoking interactions. Through engaging conversations, counsellors delve deeply into your child's world, exploring their:
- Interests: Uncovering what truly excites your child's curiosity and fuels their enthusiasm.
- Achievements: Celebrating past successes and recognizing the skills honed along the way.
- Activities: Unpacking the lessons learned and transferable skills gained from extracurricular pursuits.
- Hobbies: Understanding how leisure activities reveal intrinsic talents and potential career connections.
- Aspirations: Bringing dreams to light, nurturing hopes, and fostering a vision for the future.
- Perceptions: Exploring your child's initial understanding of the vast career landscape.
Interactive exercises and thoughtful discussions pave the way for self-reflection. During this personalised journey, your child will complete the Reflection Sheet , a Teen Theory's tool designed to prompt introspection and capture their unique experiences, accomplishments, and aspirations.
2. Raise
Recognizing the vital role parents play in their child's life, we believe in fostering open communication and collaboration. Our counsellors will engage with you in insightful discussions aimed at:
- Understanding Your Expectations: Aligning your vision for your child's future with their own emerging aspirations.
- Family Background Exploration: Celebrating past successes and recognizing the skills honed along the way.
- Demystifying the Process: Addressing any concerns you might have regarding the Teen Theory's Career Discovery journey.
- Empowering Parental Support: Equipping you with the tools and strategies to effectively guide and support your child throughout the process.
As your trusted partner, we equip you with the SWOT Sheet , a tool designed to facilitate brainstorming and documentation of your child's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and potential Threats.
3. Realise
Step 3 equips your child with a comprehensive understanding of their natural abilities and preferences. Through the Teen Theory Career Assessment , a multi-faceted evaluation, we delve deeper into:
- IQ Tests: Gauging your child's intellectual potential and cognitive abilities.
- Aptitude Assessments: Identifying areas of natural talent and inherent strengths.
- Personality Assessments: Uncovering your child's unique personality traits, work styles, and values.
Our counsellors will walk you and your child through the assessment process and alleviate any apprehension, ensuring your child approaches it with a confident and focused mindset.
4. Refine
The assessment results provide a valuable roadmap for your child's future. Our counsellors will carefully analyse the data and lead in-depth discussions that explore:
- Personality and Aptitude Alignment: Connecting your child's unique personality traits with their natural aptitudes for a fulfilling career fit.
- Exploring Career Possibilities: One-on-one, our counsellors will delve into potential career trajectories that align with your child's strengths and aspirations.
- Mapping Career Options: Based on the assessment and discussions, we will identify the 2-3 most suitable career paths for your child.
To ensure informed decision-making, we encourage in-depth research of each potential career path. Our counsellors will provide all the necessary resources and guidance to ensure your child gains a clear understanding of the realities and demands of each chosen career.
5. Reorganise
This stage equips your child with a clear roadmap on their chosen career path. Working collaboratively with your child, our counsellors develop a Pathway Document. This document outlines:
- Career Opportunities: Highlighting the diverse possibilities and potential career advancements within the chosen field.
- Educational Pathway: Charting the academic journey, including potential colleges, qualifications, and milestones to be achieved.
- Higher Education Options: Identifying colleges, universities, or institutions that offer relevant academic programs for your child's chosen path.
Furthermore, we organise a Goal Setting Workshop where your child, with your guidance, will establish clear and achievable goals. These goals will be categorised as:
- Short-Term Goals: Actionable steps to be taken in the near future, such as specific projects to work on and academic milestones to achieve.
- Long-Term Goals: Aspirations for the future, including desired college list, workplaces, roles, and professional designations.
6. Reach
The grand finale of the Career Discovery program empowers your child to confidently articulate their chosen path. This culminating experience fosters a sense of ownership and self-assurance as they embark on their exciting career journey.
Following a comprehensive exploration of their strengths, interests, and aspirations, your child will present their chosen career path to a distinguished audience - you and their dedicated counsellor. This presentation serves as a powerful culmination of the program, allowing your child to:
- Showcase their Learning:Through a captivating multimedia presentation of their choice, be it a compelling video essay, an interactive infographic, or a visually stunning presentation, your child will demonstrate their newfound knowledge of the chosen career field.
- Demonstrate Strategic Thinking: They will articulate a clear and compelling rationale for their career selection, weaving together insights gleaned from the Tads Career Assessment, self-reflection exercises, and counsellor discussions.
- Express Enthusiasm: This presentation becomes a platform for your child to ignite their own passion and excitement for their future career path, fostering a sense of ownership and purpose.
- Interact With Industry Mentors: Students get sessions with industry experts from Google, McKinsey, Amazon, Dalberg, Microsoft, Apple, and other giants to understand career trajectories and a first-hand view of future careers.
This final step underscores the holistic approach of the Career Discovery program. It's not just about identifying potential careers; it's about empowering your child to confidently embrace their chosen path and pursue it with unwavering determination.
