The Role of the Connexions PA

The Connexions service is accessed through Connexions Personal Advisers (PAs) who provide young people with free information, advice, guidance and support on a wide range of issues including jobs and work, education and training, relationships and counselling, money and housing, health, leisure time and volunteering and much more.

Connexions PAs are based in schools, colleges and high street centres.  Our high street centres offer an appointment service or you can just drop-in.

Connexions PAs will be able to give one-to-one guidance to your son or daughter and they are there to answer any questions you may have too.   Connexions PAs are trained in a wide range of issues but if they don’t have the answer themselves, they will help you find someone who does. 

As well as Connexions PAs, Employment & Training Advisers work in our high street centres who specifically help and support young people to get a job, from searching for vacancies and creating their CV to applying for jobs and handling themselves at interviews, to give them the best chance of getting a job.
