Our Specialities
Passion-Based "Life Compass" Sessions
Passions into careers
Rather than starting with “what job can you do?”, PassionUp would start with “what do you love to do?” We then explore practical ways to make that passion into a career. The process is emotionally driven and based on creating a career that sparks joy.
Exploring career beyond 'generic' paths
Many students struggle with abstract career advices. Instead of pushing students toward generic paths, we explore non-traditional and unique career pathways, for students who have unique abilities and orientations. students are encouraged to think beyond the typical “doctor, lawyer, engineer” roles. We at passionUp feel this is of paramount importance because many students feel boxed into traditional career paths. PassionUp would help them discover the vast array of unconventional career options out there. It would challenge societal norms and encourage students to define success on their own terms.
Family-Centered Career Coaching
Many career decisions are impacted by family dynamics and vice versa. We involve family discussions on career choices, ensuring alignment between the student’s aspirations and family expectations. Career counselling services often don’t address the tension between parent expectations and student desires. PassionUp would take the time to facilitate genuine dialogue between parents and students, helping them navigate difficult conversations and find common ground. This approach would significantly reduce stress and anxiety around career decisions.
