You can:

  • Talk to us about the jobs and training available locally
  • Use the CV program on the computer in the Connexions Centre and print off copies of your CV
  • Ask for a copy of the application form that the Connexions Centre uses and practice filling it in
  • Use a computer or the library to find out about different jobs and whether they'll suit you - try using Kudos or JED programs, you answer some questions about your interests and the program will suggest possible job and career ideas
  • You can use Careerscape or e-CLIPs to find out what jobs involve doing, or if you prefer you can take away CLIPs leaflets on different jobs
  • Use cnx2jobs to find out about current vacancies.

Our Advisers will:
