Connexions Homepage

Connexions is a service offering careers advice, information and guidance to all 13 to 19 year olds (up to 25 years old with additional needs)
Connexions works with many different services to help you make plans for your future and achieve your goals.
Connexions can give you information, advice and practical help with all sorts of things such as:

  • Choices - which career or course?
  • Chances – where to find the best jobs, training and learning opportunities and how to make successful applications
  • Changes – how to cope with leaving school and starting work, college or university.
  • We can also help you deal with problems, or other things you may be worried about – if we don’t know the answers, we usually know others who do.

Education and Training Pathways
How to Find Us
Are you ready for Employment or Training?
Special/Additional Needs?

Each school and college has its own dedicated Connexions Personal Adviser, who is available to meet with you (at school or college) to give you advice and guidance on whatever topic you need help with. If you have left school or finished college, Connexions has a number of contact centres where you can drop in and talk to a duty Personal Adviser. The main office is in the centre of Hereford, with smaller part time offices in most of the market towns.
