Connexions is a relatively new youth service providing advice,
guidance, support and personal development opportunities for
all 13 to 19-year-olds.
It brings together all the services that help young people
and gives young people access to a personal adviser, someone
to give impartial, honest and confidential advice.
Whether
you didn’t do as well as you had hoped or did better than your wildest
dreams, Hugh Gould from the Connexions Service, offers some hints
and tips to help you aim as high as you can!
I’ve
not got
the grades... If you haven’t got the grades you
need for sixth form or a college course – don’t panic!
I'll
just take all the exams again... It’s
not possible to take all your GCSEs again as a full time course.
But don't despair...
There
must be a mistake!
Mistakes in exam marking are rare,
but they do happen...
I
did much better than I was expecting!
Some people
get a pleasant surprise when they get their results...
Getting
straight into the job scene..
Schemes
such as modern apprenticeships allow you to learn on the job
and build up knowledge and skills so you can achieve qualifications
and earn money at the same time...

It is important to keep an open mind and look at all the possibilities
open to you. If you’re between 13 and 19, you can talk to an impartial

you make the best decision for you.
