Day 1 builds practical assessment tools for interests and aptitudes, and situates this within the family and community context that shapes every young person's real options.<\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Structured interest and aptitude assessment tools: practical, non-clinical approaches usable in a single session<\/li>\n      <li>Understanding self-efficacy and confidence barriers that shape how young people talk about their own potential<\/li>\n      <li>Family and community context: understanding the pressures and expectations shaping a young person's stated ambitions<\/li>\n      <li>Cultural considerations in career guidance across GCC and African contexts, including gendered expectations around certain careers<\/li>\n      <li>Distinguishing a young person's genuine interest from family or peer-influenced default answers<\/li>\n      <li>Building rapport and trust quickly within a limited guidance session timeframe<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cg-day\">\n  <div class=\"cg-day-head\"><div class=\"cg-day-num\">2<\/div><strong>Labour Market Literacy and Pathway Mapping<\/strong><\/div>\n  <div class=\"cg-day-body\">\n    <p><strong>Why this module matters:<\/strong> Guidance without accurate labour market information risks pointing young people toward saturated fields or away from genuinely viable ones.
