Guidance counsellor

The guidance counsellor provides guidance and advice in matters related to studies and education.

If need help with your studies and developing your competence to support your job search, you can book a personal guidance appointment or utilize Opo-päivystys service that operates without an appointment.

Your guidance discussion can focus on variety of topics, such as 

  • assessing your competence 
  • educational opportunities and fields 
  • funding options for your educational/training period 
  • the educational offerings of different institutions 
  • currently available labour market training programmes 
  • advise on planning your studies and applying for studies. 

We collaborate closely with the region’s educational institutions and various networks to make it easier for you to find information on the many career-related opportunities that are available to you. 

The service is intended for all residents of Kuopio.

If you are a registered job seeker from Kuopio, please book an appointment with the guidance counsellor through your own employee. Otherwise, you can contact Sari Multasuo (contact information below). You can reach your own employee for registered job seekers through Työmarkkinatori:
