Careers advice for adults
Guideline Career Services employs a team of professional, experienced careers advisers to help adults aged 20 and above who are in work or unemployed. To do this we receive funding from a range of sources. Some funding agencies require us to target particular people to deliver particular services. Always check how much help you are entitled to.
Our Aim
Our Mission statement is Engage 2 Progress
This means we aim to engage with adults to help them to progress in learning and work. To do this we provide high quality information, advice and guidance services on learning and work. Our customers include:
- young adults (moving on from Connexions)
- adults seeking development in employment
- those disadvantaged in the employment and learning market
- those adults who are parents of young children who will later become Connexions clients
What services do we offer?
We deliver a range of projects subject to gaining funding. This is why things are always changing. Below is a summary of current services with examples of what we do.
We offer FREE careers advice to all adults aged 20 and above.
