Occupational Guidance in School Health Care

Possible health factors limiting the choice of occupation are assessed in a comprehensive health examination performed in the 8th grade (at the age of approximately 14 years).Information about health factors limiting the choice of occupation and, on the other hand, health risks in different occupations is provided for the students. If needed, an educational plan is drawn up together with the pupil and in co-operation with the school guidance counselling, parents and, if necessary, with other bodies (e.g. specialized health care, health insurance system, employment office).The student counsellor also has information on different options for assisted education.
