16 - Latvia - Educational/vocational guidance, education/employment links
Students may seek assistance and advice concerning study process in
counselling centres of higher education institutions and administrative
units of the respective faculty. In the recent years, the issue of
guidance services has become more and more important. Several higher
education institutions offer a wide range of services, not only career
counselling, but also training on how to apply for a job consisting of
general information, information on vacancies, and supplementary
training.
In Latvia students have taken initiative to run Career
Days in order to learn about their potential employers, exchange
information between students and companies, learn how to present
oneself in labour market and investigate what kind of skills and
knowledge employers want to see in their future employees.
Some
smaller higher education institutions provide students with internship
placements; however, it is difficult to administer such placements in
institutions with thousands of students.
