Connexions Central London

May 2010

Clearly the policy which leads the support for young people will take a while to settle after the elections, but some things are certain! We are all still striving to ensure that all year 11s and 12s get an offer for next September – we have until the end of June!

Also look out for the CLC Training Brochure and Information Programmes for 2010/11 in 2 weeks, plus our 2010/11 Business Plan which sets out the support you can expect in the year ahead!

Onwards and upwards!

Best wishes, Chris Heaume

Chief Executive
