GETTING A JOB IN EUROPE
You can find information about jobs at a number of different places.
At school. During their last years at school, students get advice about further study and finding jobs. All secondary schools have a careers teacher. It's his/her job to provide students with information about study
and work. 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 . (Most students report that school isn't so bad after all!)
Outside school. For people who have already left school, there are a
number of places where they can find out about jobs. Local newspapers carry advertisements for jobs, and there is a Job Centre in every large town. Employers advertise jobs here. If you are unemployed, you can go to the Job Centre to look for a job.
More and more young people now continue their studies as long as possible. They go on from school to university or a college to get higher qualifications. There are also several training schemes, where young people can learn the skills to help them get a better job .
