The Youth Department of Alicante City Council has launched a new edition of the academic and professional orientation programme 'Oriéntate'. Until 27 November, over 2,800 students from 27 secondary education institutions (ESO and Bachillerato) will participate in these sessions held at Centro 14, located on Calle Labradores.
Students will have the opportunity to explore the educational offerings from universities, security forces, firefighters, and social and business entities, including the Chamber of Commerce. Carlos de Juan, the Youth Councillor, explained that “these sessions are designed to assist young people in secondary education in making informed decisions about their options for further studies or professional pathways, by bringing them closer to various stands showcasing opportunities from universities, the Civil Guard, National Police, firefighters, and social entities such as the Chamber of Commerce, among others.”
During the programme, students will visit stands from universities, public entities, and professional organisations, including the University of Alicante, Miguel Hernández University, and the Polytechnic University of Valencia, as well as local police, Civil Guard, and the Chamber of Commerce. These institutions will provide direct information about various academic and employment opportunities.
“The aim is to provide tools that help them plan their future with insight and confidence,” commented De Juan, who also encouraged students to “visit Centro 14 and discover all the potential career and professional paths available to them.”
Throughout November, Centro 14 will also host workshops, webinars, and open talks for students, families, and individuals interested in job searching or further education.
