We support students at all stages to explore, dream and discover their best career possibilities. 

Petrina, the founder of Career Navigation Consultants, has over 20 years experience in multiple industries supporting graduates and employees continuously grow, up-skill and develop their careers to maximize their unique strengths.  This insight into how careers are continually developing and evolving, within national and international workplaces, is what sets Petrina apart from in-school Guidance Counsellors. 

As parents, we want our children to avoid taking too many wrong choices in their career.  If you've ever felt unhappy, stuck or lost in your career, you may be wondering how you can best help your son or daughter increase their chances of making decisions that will them achieve career success and happiness. 

School Students

We work with teenagers and college bound students to make decisions about post-school opportunities. By providing independent career guidance on the most suitable future career fields and college options, we support the student to achieve greater clarity and increase their confidence in making decisions for their future. 



We use a mixture of career discovery tests and coaching tools to assess interests, traits, personality and work preferences. We then identify best subject choices (for Leaving Certificate, and A Levels), potential study options, CAO advice, jobs and / or apprenticeship options. 



College Students & Graduates

Many students pursue a college course and arrive in the final year of that programme and wonder, “what now”? 

We should talk if you are wondering:

• how to apply what you have learned in college to the next stage of your career
• if, and what, post graduate studies are best for you
• what jobs or industries you should focus on and
• how can you communicate the value that you bring so that you can stand out among the sea of recent graduates

Or perhaps you are  considering dropping out of a course yet not sure what your best option is?   It's hard to think clearly when we are not sure what is next.   We help students understand what is working for them, and not working for them, so that they can make better informed decisions.

How do clients benefit

Students and graduates leave their sessions with clarity on what their possibilities are, what they're going to do next with an understanding of why they want to do that.   They also have a step by step plan on what they need to do next to turn their career dreams into reality.  And above all, they leave with a boost in confidence and self belief.  If you want to read more about how clients felt after working with us, check out our Testimonials.

but to find out what we already are and become it."
