How does it work?

Connexions can help you in a number of different ways.

On line

You can search this website for information on local courses or jobs. It also provides links to connx4u, the Connexions virtual library containing information about careers, money & housing, among others.

In school or college

Your school or college will have a Connexions Library which you can use to research things for yourself. You will also have access to a Connexions Personal Adviser (PA) who can talk through any issues that you may have. Ask your teacher or tutor how to contact one in your school or college.

In the community

You can see a PA in the community too. Connexions have Centres and Access Points where you can meet with a PA to discuss your needs or issues. You don’t always need an appointment and can just walk in. Call 0800 032 1319 or visit our contact us page to find your nearest Access Point.
