Our Career Counselling Approach

At ASPIRE OZ, we believe career decisions should not be based solely on trends, peer influence, or limited information. Our counselling process combines psychometric insights, academic performance, personal aspirations, and future career opportunities.

Understanding Strengths, Interests & Aptitude

A validated psychometric assessment forms the foundation — revealing natural abilities, personality traits, and working styles.

Exploring Suitable Career Pathways

We map assessment results to real-world career options, including emerging fields and international opportunities.

Evaluating Course & University Options

Specific degree programmes and university choices are recommended based on the student's profile and goals.

What They Say

Testimonials

From parents whose children have built careers in Australia, to senior colleagues at Deakin University.

I got to know Mrs. Deepika when she was the point of contact for all admission matters for Deakin University, Melbourne for my daughter who decided to pursue a Master of Communication in Australia. The content and recognition of the course was well explained to us by Deepika but I was naturally concerned about the career opportunities that would follow. Deepika patiently answered our questions regarding career options and advised our daughter to make the most of her university experience by taking up campus roles and exploring opportunities beyond academics. This was very sound advice for a first timer going abroad on her own.

Deepika continued to be with us post starting the course and guided in all matters of course, living choices and created a safe environment for both my daughter and us. Today, she is working as a Marketing Specialist with a not-for-profit arts organisation in Victoria, and we couldn't be prouder.

Girija Ram

Parent · Bangalore

Sending our 18-year-old daughter to Australia was not an easy decision. Deepika gave us the confidence and support we needed throughout the process. From admissions and visa documentation to accommodation and settling in, she was always available to guide us.

Even after our daughter started university, Deepika stayed in touch and continued to support her. Today, our daughter has graduated and is working as a Case Worker with Public Services in regional NSW. We are grateful for Deepika's guidance and wish her all the best.

Dr. Gupta

Deepika has a strong understanding of the international education sector, with excellent relationship management skills and a practical approach to problem-solving. She has worked extensively with recruitment partners, market development initiatives, and engagement across key markets.

Her diligence, dependability, professionalism, and integrity are evident in her work. She balances institutional objectives with agent and student needs effectively. Deepika's expertise spans student recruitment, agent management, market engagement, and advising on Australian student visa requirements and compliance processes.

I encourage her next professional step with AspireOz and wish her success in her new venture.

Priyanka Singh

Executive Director, Deakin University South Asia

As Senior Manager – International Recruitment at Deakin University, Deepika worked with my team across South Asia. She brought together market knowledge, operational excellence, and strong relationship-building skills.

Deepika contributed significantly to strengthening Deakin's education agent network, developing recruitment channels, and supporting the university's growth. Her attention to detail, professionalism, reliability, and commitment to delivering outcomes were consistently evident.

She has deep sector knowledge and a genuine passion for helping students achieve their international education aspirations. I wholeheartedly recommend Deepika to students, partners, and colleagues alike.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a psychometric assessment, and how should my child prepare for it? +

A psychometric assessment is a scientifically validated tool that evaluates a student's natural aptitude, personality traits, interests, and preferred working styles. The assessment helps identify suitable career pathways and educational options. No preparation or prior study is required — students simply answer honestly, as there are no right or wrong answers.

Are parents involved in the counselling process? +

Yes. Parents play an important role in academic and career decision-making. Our Career Clarity, Premium Career Planning, and Australia Career & University Planning programs include dedicated parent consultation sessions to ensure alignment and informed decision-making for the whole family.

My child is considering studying abroad. Which program is best? +

For students exploring international education opportunities, particularly in Australia, we recommend the Australia Career & University Planning Program (₹24,999). This flagship program integrates career planning, university selection, employability insights, and admission strategy — designed specifically for students who want a career-focused pathway to studying in Australia. The Premium Career Planning Program (₹19,999) is also an option if you want comprehensive guidance without the Australia-specific focus.

How soon will we receive the report and counselling session? +

Once the psychometric assessment is completed, a detailed career report is generated within 2–3 business days. Counselling sessions are typically scheduled within 3–5 business days of the report being ready, depending on availability. We work to ensure the process is smooth and timely.

Why is career counselling important before selecting a course or university? +

Choosing a course or university without understanding long-term career outcomes can lead to unnecessary changes later — changes that cost time, money, and momentum. Career counselling helps students make informed decisions based on their interests, strengths, aptitude, and future aspirations, resulting in more confident academic choices and better long-term career outcomes.

Is counselling available online? +

Yes. All career counselling sessions are conducted online via video call, making them accessible to students and parents across India — regardless of location. The psychometric assessment is also completed online.
