Do you have questions about your options, or are you simply unsure what you want? You can contact a study and career counselor—they can help you clarify your questions. Personal guidance means that you discuss issues related to education, career choices, and career changes in a conversation with a study and career counselor.
If you are attending upper secondary school or a folk high school, you can find a counselor through your school. You can also contact counselors at a university or college. You do not need to be enrolled at the university to speak with their counselors, and it is free to book a session with a study counselor.
