What is Connexions?
Connexions provides Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) to all young people 13 to 19 (up to 25 for young people with Learning Difficulties or Disabilities), whatever their ability or background, but provides extra support to those who need it most. Our aim is to help young people make the most of their potential.
Where is Connexions?
There are Connexions Centres in Salford, Eccles, and Walkden; we also have Personal Advisers working in high schools and colleges in the city.
Who can I talk to if I need help in making my decisions?
There are a number of people who can help you:
- Your careers teacher, form tutor and subject teachers can all help.
- If you are looking for more detailed guidance you should seek out your Personal Adviser who will spend part of the week in school. They can help with choosing courses, mapping out career options, finance, health etc.
- You can also contact Connexions Direct, which offers quick access to advice and information on a range of topics. The website is Connexions Direct or call them on 080 800 13 2 19 to speak to an adviser.
- For advice on going to University or anything to do with higher education you could also use the Email an Adviser service at Uni4me.
