Deciding your next step can be difficult. ‘Should
I get a job or go to college?’ ‘Do I want to go to
university in the future, or should I start training?’
However you feel, the Youth and Connexions service
is able to provide you with the support and advice you need to make
the right decisions.
Whether you are at school or college, in training,
employed or out of work, and are aged 13-19,
the Youth and Connexions services can give
you information, advice and practical help,
including advice about careers and courses,
job and training opportunities and financial
advice.
How does the service work?
So that you don’t have to deal with loads
of different organisations once you contact you
will be given your own Connexions Personal Adviser (PA),
who’ll be able
to access the organisations relevant to you.
Your PA will listen to your ideas or problems
and help you make the right decisions to achieve your goals
by giving you information, advice and practical help. He/she can
advise you on what subjects to study at school, which career path
to follow, and what training and employment opportunities are available. Your
PA can also help with things that may be affecting you at school,
college, work or home.
More importantly, the service is confidential,
and there for you when and where you need it.
Simply log onto ,
find your PA at your school/college, or pop into
your local centre.
