How to access advice
Impartial guidance is provided in schools by its Independent Adviser and School Careers Teacher. Your school will have access to many additional online resources and websites that can support you when considering your future.
If you are 16 – 18 years old and not accessing education or training you can get information, advice and guidance on a number of opportunities to progress your education or career plans from Career Connect - Sefton Council’s careers information, advice and guidance service.
You can find out about Apprenticeships, Traineeships, and all Study Programmes in schools, colleges and training providers. If you are in employment but without access qualifications please contact us.
If you are in learning but unsure you are choosing the right option for you, talk to your tutors and student services first but if you need additional help please contact Career Connect.
