Connexions has changed...
From April 2012, Connexions Birmingham is a different type of service. Our main business is to provide careers information, advice and guidance to young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), have a disability, or are vulnerable in some way. We will also be continuing to provide a wider careers information, advice and guidance service to some schools in Birmingham who are buying this service from us.
We will be developing a new website as part of our new service but we are leaving this website up and running for now as it continues to be a useful guide. PLEASE NOTE that some of the information about the Connexions service may no longer be correct — things like who we work with, and how young people can get support. Find out more at Connexions has changed... for young people.
