Emulate Norway's students' Career Guidance

The Norwegian education system provides a number of programmes as a way to create awareness to students of the available career opportunities especially at university level. Among them include big exhibitions by local and international universities from UnitedKingdom and USA. Such exhibitions are arranged in major towns around Norway and students from upper secondary schools visit the different university stalls to get first hand information. This particular one we visited with Rjukan Vgs 3rd year academic students was arranged in Oslo exbihition hall. Another good arrangement is when universities arrange open days to the public to show and advertise the courses they offer. Students are given an opportunity to attend short lessons scheduled between 30 to 45 minutes in the different faculties. On the 5th March 2009 we and second year academic students headed by the carrier master of Rjukan Vgs- Tom Nilsen and Ingrid Kjelsnes attended the Open day of Oslo university. If any student wished to join Oslo university after secondary, Iam sure there was no better career guidance than what they had that day.
