From English "guidance." In Japanese, ガイダンス typically refers to a specific orientation event or session, rather than ongoing guidance in general.
COMMON TYPES:
- 新入生ガイダンス: new student orientation
- 履修ガイダンス: course registration guidance
- 就職ガイダンス: career guidance session
- 入社ガイダンス: new employee orientation
NOTE:
For general advice or guidance in an ongoing sense, the Japanese word 指導 or 案内 is more appropriate.
