Educational counsellors work for school boards, in elementary/high schools, universities, colleges, technical institutes, correctional facilities, and government agencies.

Elementary school counsellors usually provide more social/personal counselling than do high school counsellors who provide more vocational/academic counselling.

Educational counsellors in post-secondary institutions and other places usually specialize in academic, personal, social or career/vocational counselling.

Educational counsellors (NOC 4033) usually earn between $23.80/hour and $50.00/hour in Canada. People working as a "guidance counsellor" are part of this group.
