Euroguidance Slovenia

At the national level NCIPS operates in a network connecting different organisations and institutions which produce or collect quality information about education and training opportunities. NCIPS functions as a centre that co-ordinates the flow of such information between separate partners and users. It also provides services (professional support) to vocational and information centres and other users, but it does not directly counsel visitors to vocational information centres.

Besides collecting and producing information about vocational training and labour market, the centre provides descriptions of occupations, video-presentations of professions and certain information of national importance (such as information about universities, studies, financial aid, etc.). As its main priority is to connect, collect and distribute existing information and material, NCIPS prepares informative material and databases mainly for those fields where such material does not yet exist (e.g. organisation of writing descriptions of occupations).

Through the Euroguidance network NRCVG’s act as a link between the guidance services of each member country, enabling in this way the exchange of information about study and training opportunities throughout Europe. The NRCVG network is funded by the European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture - EAC), which views it as a mechanism for promoting the mobility of pupils, students, teachers and young workers between European countries.
