Working with young people
Connexions is a service that helps young people aged 13-19 make choices about employment, education and training.**
Connexions provides independent impartial information, advice, guidance and support for all 13-19 year olds on careers, education courses, training and jobs, and other issues facing young people e.g. health, benefits, housing, relationships.
Our purpose is to help engage all young people in learning and work. All young people have access to a Personal Adviser whether that is through school or colleges, Connexions centres or in youth and community groups. Personal Advisers are well-qualified, passionate and enthusiastic practitioners who really get to know the young people they are supporting. They help smooth a young person’s path through difficult choices and understand what’s on offer.
Connexions is committed to working closely with local organisations to help provide the best possible service to our clients. The service brings together other agencies and voluntary groups to plan coherent access to integrated services for young people.
* Up to age 25 in the case of young people with special needs.
