“From our senior secondary schools, especially from SS 1, we make use of psychological tests for placement, because you can not go into a career without the right subjects. You can not take a subject without you being tested with our psychological materials, that brings out the passion and the capability to offer the career you want to do.”

“We have what we call .Career Day in all our schools, where professionals are brought to come and talk to the children.”

The National President of CASSON, Prof. Malami Umar Tambawa, said the whole idea of the conference was about counselling in institutions, Workplace and the society.
