 To develop the whole student, it is important to consider the skills students need to improve themselves and the environment where these skills are to be used. Students need to integrate information with self-knowledge and develop skills to help them plan, make decisions, and adjust to the complex world in which they live. As JTI students achieve developmental benchmarks, their perceptions of themselves and their opportunities should become more positive. Students who successfully acquire skills and information early in their lives will have more resources to help them continue to develop and, consequently, they are more likely to acquire favorable attitudes about themselves and their life options. Comprehensive counseling program has been described as the process of leading, directing, and advising students through a program of experiences, which provides information, support, instruction, and encouragement to assist in developing academic, personal/social, and career skills. Academic, personal/social, and career development skills represent the domains that comprehensive counseling program is organized around..
