In Iran's educational system, guiding students to increase their academic/career preparation as well as achieving success in school and after school is one of the duties of school counselors. The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges of newly hired school counselors in the management of students' academic guidance using the method of qualitative thematic analysis. In this study, eight school counselors were selected using convenience sampling. The data obtained from the semi-structured interviews were analyzed based on the Brown and Clark thematic analysis method. Based on the results, five main themes were obtained, which are: challenges related to the academic guidance program, students' problems in successfully performing academic guidance, lack of preparation of counselors before employment in school, barriers to counselor's professional performance during employment in school, and challenges of counselors' professional identity. Recognizing and examining the challenges of novice counselors around the academic guidance program leads to more effectiveness and cooperation with teachers, administrators and families in order to improve the level of students' growth. The results of these surveys will be successfully reflected in the fields of academic, professional and personal/social development of students.

The statistical population included all counselors of the first secondary schools working in the academic year of 1400-1401 in the cities of Tehran province, 30 people were selected as available sampling and were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. First, a pre-test was taken, and then the experimental group received 8 sessions of academic-career guidance training, and at the end, a post-test was taken from both groups. The tool of data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire to measure the knowledge and skills of counselors in the field of academic guidance, which was designed and distributed after ensuring the validity and reliability of this research due to the lack of a suitable questionnaire.
