- A Parent eager to help your Teens make confident career choices?

- A Career Counsellor wondering why highly potential teens struggle to find campus experiences and career choices, that expand and strengthen their sense of self?

- A Campus Recruiter puzzled at how quickly young talent gets disengaged, with a placement that was seen as exciting? 

- A Teen who feels like - "I must have chosen a different project, a different team to be on" or "I must not have volunteered to do the indepth project research.. boring!  May be I would have done better to prepare the project report!" or "Should I follow my parents, my teachers, my friends or my own preferences, in what campus discipline or career placement I should choose" ?   

Given the myraid of opportunities in careers and the unlimited potential available in campus, it is quite a challenging task, in match making, for both the recruiter, and the recruited. How to make that 'most suitable' choice?  

Say hello, to Belbin GetSet! 

WHAT IS BELBIN GETSET?

How about helping young people, students in their late teens to understand and expand their behavioral preferences? Self Awareness for the young?

BELBIN GetSet is a simple online questionnaire which the young can take as a self-assessment, and ask for feedback from their friends, which when put together in the BELBIN Interplace tool, generates their BELBIN GetSet Report and Workbook. ( Click to download a free sample )

BELBIN GetSet offers young aspirants a language in which to discover and describe the unique contributions they can make in a place of learning, or at work, in ways that educators and recruiters can appreciate.

WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DOES BELBIN GETSET PROVIDE? 

Behaviors create impact. In a world where functional competence is and will be constantly challenged by technology, leveraging ones behavioral edge is key to sustainable success. As Dr. Meredith Belbin says often, "All of us are capable of all 9 Team Roles". The earlier in life we start building this capability, the better off we are. BELBIN GetSet is an initiative in this direction.

BELBIN GetSet helps youngsters aged 14 to 19, in making the most suitable choices while learning on campus and while positioning themselves during placement. In doing so, it:

1. Enables learning and career choices that accelerate personal and professional growth, potentially preventing many a 'quarter-life crisis'.
2.  Helps recruiters on and off campus to place fresh hires in roles that allow them to blossom, enriching themselves and the role itself, thereby raising the bar on the effectiveness of that job role. No more square pegs in round holes.
3. Makes it possible for Talent Managers to 'catch them young'.. identify and groom leadership through a well-understood talent pipeline, that offers truly individualised development paths.
4.  Gives parents and well-wishers the confidence in leading and supporting the child's choice of a career path.
