Young people invited to career choice evening
School pupils in Rugby can get a helping hand with their career plans at a special event being held this week.
Connexions Coventry and Warwickshire have organised a career choice evening at the Benn Hall on Newbold Road on Thursday 12 November, between 4pm and 7pm, to advise young people about their future steps.
Over 35 exhibitors, including representatives from Connexions, local colleges, sixth forms, universities, training providers and employers, will be on hand to answer any questions.
Julie Low from Connexions Coventry and Warwickshire organised the event and said: “This is an ideal opportunity for young people to have their career questions answered as well as finding out what’s available to them after they leave year 11.
“Thinking about leaving school and future careers may seem a long way off for most students but it is always good to have an idea about what to expect and the opportunities available after compulsory education.
“There will be a lot of exhibitors on the evening, so it is a great opportunity to get free advice from a range of professionals.”
Connexions Coventry and Warwickshire is run by CSWP Ltd, a membership of organisations including Warwickshire County Council, Coventry City Council and the Learning & Skills Council among others.
There is a Connexions office in every secondary school and Further Education College across the county, and also at Connexions One Stop Shops in town centre offices. To find the nearest to you, call 024 76 607900.
Young people can also get confidential help and advice by contacting Connexions Direct any time between 8am and 2am on 080 800 13 2 19 or go to http://www.connexions-direct.com.
