Careers and Counselling Day

To mark today's Career Guidance Day, we are announcing the annual collaboration between Mímir and the University of Iceland on the fieldwork and professional training for students on the Master's programme in Career Guidance at the University of Iceland, which takes place at Mímir.

On the one hand, there is a work placement in the first year of the master's degree, where students are expected to make a visit of approximately 25 hours to Mímis; on the other hand, there is a field study where a second-year student stays with Mímis and works closely under the supervision of a tutor.- and career guidance in a total of 200 hours.

This week, Laufey Elísa Hlynsdóttir and Sylvía Sól Geirdal Pétursdóttir are visiting Mími and shadowing advisers in their work.

Mímis five careers advisers handle a wide range of tasks on a daily basis. They assist individuals with decisions about their education or career development, and also provide a service for the recognition of prior learning.

If you think that you, or someone close to you, could benefit from the services of a careers adviser, you can book an appointment here., https://www.mimir.is/is/radgjof/nams-og-starfsradgjof.

Interviews with individuals are free of charge.

The first National Career Guidance Day in Iceland was held in 2006 and this year it will be celebrated for the sixteenth time. The aim of the day is to raise awareness of the importance of career guidance for everyone and the professional service provided by career guidance counsellors.
