Choosing an educational path after finishing high school—and ultimately a career—is one of the most significant moments in a student’s life. At Avenor College, this process is supported by a well-structured career guidance and counselling programme, internationally recognised for its quality.

 

“We are proud to announce that Avenor College has once again received the Career Mark International Award, reaffirming the exceptional quality of our career guidance programme.

We are the only school in Romania with an internationally recognised career counselling and guidance programme for high school students, validated by the Career Mark International Award.

Having received this recognition for the first time in 2023, we have demonstrated our commitment to maintaining high standards in supporting our students—from providing access to relevant information and effective counselling to ensuring a real impact on their educational and professional choices,” says Luminița Susanu, Student Programmes Manager and Examinations Officer at Avenor.

A Rigorous Evaluation Process

To achieve this international recognition, Avenor College underwent a comprehensive evaluation process, which included an in-depth analysis of the career counselling programme, interviews with students and teachers, and an assessment of the impact these activities have on students’ educational journeys.

The final report highlighted the programme’s strengths, emphasising the strong leadership of the career guidance team, innovative learning approaches, and the effectiveness of the counselling provided to students. It also included recommendations for continuous development.

From Avenor to Top Universities – The Best Measure of Success

Our students’ success is the clearest testament to the impact of the career guidance programme. This year, Avenor graduates have received offers from over 40 top universities in the UK, Ireland, Europe, and North America, in diverse fields such as Economics, Business, Law, Engineering, Mathematics, Psychology, Biochemistry, and the Arts.

Among the universities our students can choose from are:

  • University College London (UCL)
  • King’s College London
  • University of Warwick
  • University of Edinburgh
  • Bocconi University
  • ESADE
  • University of Toronto

Beyond the students’ efforts, these results reflect the high-quality education provided at Avenor, as well as the effectiveness of our personalised and consistent career counselling process.

Supporting Informed Decisions

With so many options available, the university application process can be challenging—not only in identifying the best choice but also in managing the tendency to apply to an excessive number of universities.

To support students in this journey, our counselling team works closely with each individual, helping them develop a clear and effective strategy. The focus is on a well-balanced selection of study programmes that align individual aspirations with secure choices and viable alternatives.
