Our Mission
A Service Born Out Of Understanding
At “Choosing My Future,” our service was born out of a deep understanding of the crucial need for young adults to have access to knowledge and support when embarking on their career path journey.
Over the years, we have witnessed a troubling pattern among young people, where many find themselves entering low-skilled or low-paid jobs, only to encounter significant barriers to progress due to financial difficulties.
This unfortunate cycle often leaves them with limited opportunities or career advancement, leading to a continuous struggle to make ends meet or even reliance on social welfare payments.
Our Dedication To Making A Difference
Our dedication to making a difference is rooted in the recognition that everyone deserves the chance to build a prosperous and fulfilling future.
At “Choosing My Future,” we are committed to breaking the cycle and empowering our clients with the resources and guidance they need to pursue a career that affords them a good lifestyle and meaningful work.
MEEG (Model Of Enabling Employment Guidance)
Central to our mission is the newly developed MEEG (Model Of Enabling Employment Guidance).
This groundbreaking methodology serves as a powerful tool for both our practitioners and individuals experiencing unemployment or seeking career changes, providing a structured framework to work towards building sustainable careers.
Meaningful Work Is A Fundamental
At “Choosing My Future,” we firmly believe that meaningful work is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. Our passion lies in supporting our clients to build careers that not only provide financial stability but also contribute to their overall happiness and fulfilment.
Together, let’s break barriers, overcome challenges, and build a brighter future. Our service is here to walk alongside you on your journey to success, offering the knowledge, support, and guidance needed to shape a career that opens doors to a prosperous and fulfilling life. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together at “Choosing My Future.”
