How Connexions Can Help...
Parents and carers have a great deal of influence over their
teenage sons or daughters - even if it may not always seem like
that! You can help them with decisions regarding the future
direction of their lives: but what happens if you need some help to
help them and don't know where to go for information and
advice?
Connexions doesn't just help young people to choose a course or
find a job - it's about much more than that! Making decisions about
which GCSE subjects to choose, whether to go to university or which
careers to pursue are very important and Connexions can help with
all of these issues. But did you know that Connexions could also
help your teenager with information and advice about:
