These are additional classes or lessons within the scope of general educational classes. Teachers give adviso-ry classes in selected days and hours. Students can make use of the support and advises on their own initiative. Students self-knowledge and professional profiles are the subjects of the advisory classes. Durning the career advisory classes, lower secondary school students meet with secondary school students. The aim of the publication is to evaluate the role of career advisory classes in the lower secondary schools.
