Connexions

The Connexions Service is the new advice and guidance service in England for all 13 to 19 year olds. Connexions ensure that young people are able to get the help and support they need to reach their full potential and make an effective transition to work and adult life.

The key objective is to encourage more young people to stay in education or training, so that an increasing number have the qualifications they need for further education or the world of work.
