Career guidance
Provision of high quality guidance services is important at all levels of the education system.
Starting with general career education in form 1 in the Folkeskole and delivering of guidance from form 7, pupils are gradually prepared for making their first educational and vocational decisions.
Two types of independent guidance centres provide guidance in relation to the transitions from one level of the education system to another:
• 47 Youth Guidance Centres (Ungdommens Uddannelsesvejledning) focus on the transition from compulsory to youth education.
• 7 Regional Guidance Centres (Studievalg) deal with the transition from youth education to higher education.
A national guidance portal – the “Education Guide”: www.ug.dk – provides comprehensive information on education and training possibilities at all levels, professions, labour market conditions and statistics. A national e-guidance centre provides users with online guidance service seven days a week. It is established in relation to www.ug.dk
