Connexions - Partners and Staff
Welcome
Connexions Leicester Shire works with a range of professionals to support and develop the provision of careers education, information, advice and guidance for local young people.
This area of our website has been developed to support those who have responsibility for developing and delivering careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) services to meet the new national quality standards.
For full details please refer to the menu on the left.
Department for Education no longer funding free copies of 'Which way now?' and 'It's your choice'
The Department for Education (DfE) has taken the decision to only produce online PDF and Word docs of the ' It's your choice' and 'Which way now?' booklets, and the accompanying 'Practitioners Guide'.
As there is still a lot of demand for these publications VT Careers Management are offering schools and colleges the chance to purchase printed copies at an approximate cost of 75p each. These will not be available until midway through the Autumn term but you can order copies now. If your school or college would like to place an order please contact:
