At school. During their last years at school, students get advice about further study and finding jobs. All secondary schools have a careers teacher.

Careers teachers will arrange visits to factories , offices, colleges, etc. They invite people from local organisations to come to the school to talk to the students. They also help students to apply for jobs.
A lot of schools now organise 'work experience' for students in the last two compulsory years of school (aged 14-16). The students go out to work for a week. They work in all kinds of places- factories, shops, offices or hotels. Afterwards they have to write about their experience and what it has taught them .
