Q1. What will schools get next year from Connexions/Futures?
Answer: Next year schools will receive a
reduced amount of guidance support from Connexions. This is yet to be confirmed
and will be known and agreed for the Partnership Agreement negotiations. In the
meantime (March – June), schools may want to buy something extra to be
delivered in THIS Summer Term 2011 OR (ii) commit funds now to some services
not traditionally delivered by a Futures adviser for Sept 11- March 12 (like
interview skills days, employability skills offers, an LMI session, etc)’.
Also, if you order by APRIL 1st, there’s an EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!
