The information about guidance in higher education, both university and non-university, is available in the following subsections.

University tertiary education

The Centros de Orientación e Información de Empleo, COIE (Guidance, Information and Employment Centres) have been set up in various universities as a result of agreements between the corresponding university and the Instituto Nacional de Empleo, INEM (National Institute for Employment). These institutions aim to advise and provide information to graduates and students in the final years in order to assist them in the search for employment. The COIE also provides information on the current formative and professional options. As regards employment, they may facilitate on-the-job training placements, training and professional integration courses, or they may provide companies with a cost-free pre-selection service to fill certain vacancies. In any case, those universities which provide these services are the ones that determine the specific characteristics of the services offered.
