New App from Connexions
Central London
Connexions have launched a new ‘Get Connex’d’ app for young people!
It’s available on all mobile phones which have Internet access and
it’s free! Find out information on choices for under and over 16
year olds, search for jobs, events in the local area,
apprenticeships and volunteering, college information, cv and
interview tips, and personal and money matters.
Visit Get Connexed and register onto
the app, and receive updates on any of those areas.
Work and Training
Get paid for learning and gaining nationally recognised
qualifications in a wide variety of industries - you just have to
choose which career you want!
Job applications can be daunting, but a Connexions Centre Personal
Adviser may be able to help you. They can also help with creating
your CV and brushing up your interview skills.
