About Us

Connexions Sandwell provides careers guidance in line with statutory requirements to young people who live or are educated in the Sandwell area. *

We are committed to providing young people with high quality, independent support. We make them aware of all their options to enable them to take up employment, an apprenticeship or further learning and training opportunities to fulfil their potential.

We work with young people aged from 13- 18 years. If a young person has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and are Not in Education, Training or Employment (NEET) and keep in touch with Connexions, then we can support them until they are 25.

We give impartial information, advice and guidance that helps young people to make informed decisions about their future. We can help young people find suitable education, training or employment including apprenticeships.

We will continue to grow our business with honesty and integrity to guide our everyday actions.

 The service is delivered by highly qualified Personal Advisers and mentors who are experienced in working with young people.
