Many sources of information
Guides, websites, meetings with advisors, Youth Information network or private centers… Go hunting for information!
Information and Orientation Centers (IOCs)
The CIOs depend on National Education. These are places of free reception, documentation and information, intended for young people and their families, as well as professionals engaged in working life. Are you looking for a school, a course of study, a diploma or a job ?
You will find there training guides school before and after the baccalaureate, on professional activities, career opportunities and competitions. You will also benefit from Internet access to surf the orientation sites.
In a CIO, you can also meet a Cop (guidance advisor-psychologist), responsible for advising you and guiding you in the choice of your studies and your professional project. It will help you take stock of your desires and goals. He receives, directly or by appointment, anyone who wishes. He can also provide permanence in your school. In any case, remember that his advice does not constitute a decision: you retain your complete freedom of choice!
SCUIO-IP
The SCUIO-IP (Joint University Information, Orientation and Professional Integration Services), sometimes called SUIO, SUAIO or even Faculty Branches, are responsible for providing information on university teaching. They are present in each establishment.
Youth Information Network
The types of services and the methods of information and support may vary from one CRIJ, from one BIJ and one PIJ to another. Beyond the information itself (studies and careers, employment, housing, health, Europe, new technologies, etc.), many centers have created specific services to meet the needs of their audiences – particularly young people. To find out the services offered by the center closest to you, consult its website.
