Connexions is the new information, advice, guidance and support service for young people as they make decisions about education, training, employment and other life choices.  It will bring together services that already exist, encouraging teachers, careers workers, youth workers, social workers and others to work together with Connexions staff, to give each young person a complete and joined-up experience.  An experience, which provides the services and opportunities that, meets their individual needs and aspirations.

 

Who is Connexions for?

 

Connexions is for all young people who are between 13 and 19 (that is up to their 20th birthday).  Some young people who have extra needs will get support beyond this – sometimes until their 25th birthday.

 

Every young person will have access to a Personal Adviser, or PA for short.  If they are at school or college, this is likely to be where they meet their Connexions PA – but the service will be flexible and it will be possible for young people to meet their PA in different settings and outside usual ‘office hours’.
