The British Council in Pakistan organised the sixth Career Counsellors’ Symposium in Islamabad on 19 November 2015. The one day event was attended by over 120 career counsellors from leading schools and higher education institutions. The symposium was held at the National University of Sciences and Technology Business School (NBS) which is one of Pakistan’s leading business schools.

The symposium was packed with productive and exciting opportunities for professional development through interactive and innovative sessions on a variety of topics on pressing issues around counselling, career guidance and education. The event helped counsellors access the first-hand information they seek on education in the UK and was well received by participants.

The symposium is the only event in Pakistan organised annually by the British Council which provides a platform to career counsellors to meet, network and share best practices. Each year we move between Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad to ensure all regions get equal opportunity to benefit from this platform.

·         National University of Sciences and Technology
