The Full Form of EVGC is Educational and Vocational Guidance Counselor.

Educational and vocational guidance is primarily targeted at young people until the age of 25 but also concerns services for adults wishing to enter a higher education programme

There are four different types of guidance centres:

• Youth guidance centres with the responsibility for guidance regarding the transition from lower secondary school to youth education and for contacting young people who have not completed upper secondary or vocational training with offers of guidance.
• Centres for Adult Education and Continuing Training (VEU-centre) offer guidance related to a wide range of education programmes for adults, including courses at lower and upper secondary level and highly specialized continuing vocational training courses (AMU).
• eGuidance is for everyone looking for information about education and employment. See below for details.
• Regional guidance centres with the responsibility for guidance regarding the transition from youth education to higher education (from 2011 within the purview of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education). Read more about Regional Guidance Centres (pdf)
