In their final school year, your teenager will have an important decision to make. What and how they choose to study in post-16 education can have a big impact on their future. Careers advice and guidance is crucial, it can help a young person to make the right choices, whilst taking away some of the stress at the same time.
How do we help your teenager?
We help in a variety of ways:
- Group sessions during which your son/daughter will be given information about the different post-16 options: education, employment and training.
- Students can also request to see the Connexions Personal Adviser in a one-to-one interview. If your son/daughter wants you to be there then you will be made most welcome.
- Our PAs will also make sure your son/daughter is told about the Government's September Guarantee, which aims to ensure that all school leavers have an 'offer' of education or training before they leave compulsory education.
- Our PAs will also be available for you to speak to at Parents' evenings.
- We have a list of useful websites for Year 11s which you can download here Useful Websites for Year 11
- Download a copy of our Year 10/11 Parent Power booklet. This outlines what careers education your son's/daughter's should be participating in in school.
Sixth Form and College Open Evenings
Every year local colleges and sixth forms throw open their doors to give you and your son/daughter the opportunity of having a good look around and to find out what they have to offer.
