Career guidance: building a motivating and realistic future

Individualized support to help each student define their academic and professional plan, starting from 9th grade.

Entry into upper secondary school (Gymnase), either in the Maturity track or at the School of General Culture (ECG)

An apprenticeship in a company through the dual training system (CFC)

A RAC bridging class, enabling access to the Gymnase

Other vocational training programmes or specialized schools

Assessment and skills testing.

To help each student build a concrete career plan, the guidance counselor provides tools that allow them to reflect in a structured way on their choices and gain confidence:

Aptitude, skills, personality, and interest tests to identify strengths and areas for development

An individual career assessment to define areas to explore and refine their plans

Ongoing guidance and support throughout the recruitment process
