guidance counsellor - update

Question

does anyone know the equivalent of a guidance counsellor here in Belgium, someone who can advise a young adult on his career direction?

Schools in Flanders and dutch-speaking in Brussels are connected to a CLB (centrum voor leerlingenbegeleiding - Center for student counselling) these centers have leerlingbegeleiders/guidance counsellors. Usually you have to contact the center connected to your childs school. But it is also possible (sometimes) to just contact a center and ask for an appointment with a leerlingbegeleider regarding career choice. you can look for the CLB connected to your school here: http://www.onderwijskiezer.be/clb/clb_zoek.php

I believe these centers are called PMS (centre psycho medico sociaux) in Wallonia and french speaking Brussels. I think they work in the same way. You can look for your schools PMS center here: http://public.guidesocial.be/associations/centres-psycho-medico-sociaux-...

But the easiest thing may be to just ask the school where you can go for this kind of thing.

Another option would be to also contact a Career Guidance counsellors at

who help the young ones to discover their talents and passions and help to take a decision what is best for them to study.
