Conclusion :
After studying on IIFT as a Counselor I came to know that Counselors work in diverse community settings designed to provide a variety of counseling, rehabilitation, and support services. Their duties vary greatly, depending on their specialty, which is determined by the setting in which they work and the population they serve. Counselors must recognize these issues in order to provide their clients with appropriate counseling and support.

This helps in enhancing communication skills which further helps in getting prestigious jobs.

Though, I want to become a Company Secretary and work with a MultiNational Company. Today's global scene shows a focus on the development of the corporate sector. Growth automatically translates into the involvement legalities of various kinds. And this falls under the purview of a Company Secretary. Companies need advice from a person with a thorough knowledge of all relevant laws.
