"We’re looking for someone who has proven they can do well academically, with excellent people skills and a good work ethic. I’ve met some incredible young people today, with amazing potential. If there were two young people from different schools and one of them had experienced an Interview Skills Day then I think that young person has a much better chance of getting the job!”

“I wasn’t sure what to do and I’m really glad I’ve been given the chance to move on. I have my career route planned out now but without Connexions, I don’t think I’d have gone to college. My Connexions Personal Adviser helped me so much, what would I do without them? They helped me turn my life around and I’m now excited about the future!”
