Connexions Cumbria can help adults too!!

As well as providing help and support to young people, Connexions Cumbria also hosts the Next Step service which is a service aimed at adults aged 19 or over. Next Step provides information and advice on career change, interview skills, job search, CV writing as well as local training and employment opportunities.

Next Step is a confidential service delivered by helpful, qualified, and competent staff. It provides up-to-date and accurate information and advice on learning, training and employment opportunities.

Next Step Advisers will be able to help you:
• Explore relevant opportunities.
• Understand more about your strengths and weaknesses.
• Identify your skills and goals.
• Help you choose the best option for you.
• If appropriate, support in finding ways of overcoming barriers that might affect access to learning, training and employment.
• Use computer programs to help you generate career ideas and research courses.
• Refer you to services who will be better able to help you.

If you want help to decide your ‘Next Step’ then we have a team of advisers based in Connexions centres and in job centres around the county and are available to provide one to one help and support. If you need help with reading, writing and maths then our Next Step advisers can help your find courses and support you.

Contact your local Connexions office on 0800 435 709 or call in for more details.
