Connexions is a national service for all young people (aged 13-19) designed
by young people. It offers direct access to information through Connexion's
Personal Advisers, staffed helplines and the internet, the web site is
www.connexions.gov.uk. In New College we have a Connexions Personal Adviser
based in room G-13 on our main Queens Drive site. We can also put you
in touch with Connexions P.As based with local authorities.
The Connexions themes are:
- Learning and Work
- Staying Healthy
- Housing
- Money Matters
- Your Rights
- Relationships
- Time 2 Spare
Resources on all of these themes are available in the College Library.
Careers advice is available for all students, our Connexions Personal Adviser works with students aged 13-19 and our adults careers adviser works with those over 19. Careers advice can help you to make sensible decisions about courses here and elsewhere, future career plans and other options such as gap years. Appointments for careers advice for students based in Swindon can be made through Student Services.
Students based elsewhere can telephone Student Services (01793 611470), who can arrange for telephone or email guidance.
