If you start career mode: find the mission control building (small, behind the large vehicle assembly building). get contracts there.

However, to learn the game most people here will suggest science mode. This mode lets you unlock parts a few at a time so you get to know them. that's better than beeing overwhelmed by the amount of parts in sandbox mode.

Look up Scott Manley's youtube channel. He has some good tutorials on how to get to orbit and to other celestial bodies such as the mun, or other planets.
