JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Synergetica contributes towards the creation of job and work opportunities by upskilling candidates for a specific occupation in counselling. Whilst many young people struggle to get employment, counselling provides a way to become self-employed. The short courses that we offer are endorsed by the professional bodies as being aligned to scope of practice and specific designations.

The domain of community counselling provides ample opportunities for recognised practitioners to gain access to the job market. The network of counselling associations, the CCSA, NHA, ASCHP have a total of more than 2500 members who work in practices, clinics, police stations, churches, schools, wellness centres and NGO’s. They earn a living by consulting clients over a wide spectrum of wellness and counselling related needs and problems.

Franchise opportunities are envisaged for the future.
