Employers

Supporting your child

You have a major influence on your child’s future and ambitions – encourage them to explore new ideas and talk about their plans, to find out about their choices in work and education and make the most of their spare time:

  • Get them to take advantage of the professional information, advice, guidance and support offered by their teachers, Connexions and other agencies,
  • Meet with us at parents evenings and other events – join our Parents & Carers Group to discuss the service we offer,
  • Let us know your concerns. How can you find out about young people's choices?
  • Download our publications, including A Career Decision Making Guide for Parents and Carers, and current local job vacancies,
  • Wayahead is a one stop shop for all the courses and training opportunities in the area
  • Drop into our high street Connexions Centres with a range of information on career-decision making, employment and education opportunities, job vacancies and lifestyle issues.
  • Contact Connexions Direct, a national helpline where parents and young people can speak to an adviser from 8am to 2am every day of the year
