Welcome to the
September 2008

Welcome to the September CLC e-bulletin for PAs, managers and others involved in supporting young people in central London.
 
As it is September, this month’s bulletin is packed with ideas for young people who are not sure of their options – alternative courses, tasters, alternatives to uni, plus recent policy information.
 
The Job Information Sheets are all up to date, with many jobs on LOIS. Plus the enrolment details for key colleges is here too.
 
Many EMA assessments are currently held up, but the company concerned is working full pace to clear them all. More information on this can be found in Infomation for PAs section of the bulletin.
 
We still have some places on the CLC PA training courses in September: Employability, Achieving National IAG Standards and Group Work Skills – sign up quickly if you feel they would be useful.
 
Good luck with all the September activity getting young people settled!
