Connexions Central London

September 2009

Dear Colleagues,

It is the busiest time for PAs and the most important time for young people. We hope all the information here on real opportunities, available right now, will be really useful. If you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

We will be tracking outcomes month by month and publishing them. Hopefully we'll see that even more young people in central London have found their way into learning or work.

Good luck!

Chris Heaume, CEO
