Building skills for the future - Information evenings for parents

There are fewer jobs for young people without qualifications and skills. Staying in learning for longer will give your teenager the opportunity to get qualifications that will help them progress, whether as an apprentice, in further or higher education or in employment. 

Connexions Northamptonshire in partnership with Northamptonshire County Council will be holding Information evenings in your area to help parents of students in years 10-13 understand what options are available.

• Do you understand what Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) means?
• Do you understand all the options available to young people when leaving school?
• What is an Apprenticeship?
• Do you need more information about how Apprenticeships are developing and what choices are available?
• Did you know that an Apprenticeship can lead into higher education?

Find out the answers to these questions and more.

These events will all take place in January and February 2013 from 7.00pm to 9.00pm (doors open at 6.30pm) at the following venues:

Tuesday 22 January at the Council Chamber, East Northamptonshire Council, Thrapston
