Education and training are accepted as the primary pathways to help people to develop their potential. Such potential is an important form of investment in human capital. In addition to this, the author would like to put forth the notion that counselling is a contemporary means of enhancing human resources, and one which cannot be neglected and underestimated. To this end, four dimensions of counselling, which contribute centrally to the formation of human capital, will be discussed. Such a resource which enhances human capital should not be neglected.enHuman capitalPeer Reviewed Journal Article10.1080/21507680903570425
