Please visit the Connexions library at lunchtime to ask for advice on further education courses and employment options.
Our Youth Connexions Advisor Ali Sheriff is available on Tuesday's and can discuss A-Level and HE choices with you, especially regarding the relevance of subject choices to particular careers.
The Youth Connexions Jobs and Careers section of their website includes impartial advice on the choices available to you at different stages, a live job/apprenticeship search, links to employers with opportunities for schools leavers (such as retail or business managements schemes, health sector schemes, armed forces), also sponsored degrees which must be applied for through employers not UCAS.
The Youth Connexions Advice and Support section has advice on wider issues such as money, relationships and health.
