CRCI booklet.AW 29/10/04 9:09 am Page 1 Connexions Resource Centre Index User Guide Autumn 2004 CRCI booklet.AW 29/10/04 9:09 am Page 2 Connexions Resource Centre Index The Connexions Resource Centre Index was designed with young people and practitioners, to help file, store and easily retrieve information on a variety of subjects. The index is separated into two sections: General Information – this section is broken down into 11 headings. Choices Education Free Time Health Housing Law, your Rights and Citizenship Money Relationships Travel and Transport Where to get help Work and Training The Work and Training section has lots of information on different jobs. The occupational information is broken down into 23 main job families. Each one is represented by a different icon and heading and used to store information relating to jobs in that particular sector. Administration, Business and Office Work Building and Construction Catering and Hospitality Computers and IT Design, Arts and Crafts Education and Training Engineering Environment, Animals and Plants Financial Services Healthcare Languages, Information and Culture Legal and Political Services Leisure, Sport and Tourism Manufacturing and Production Marketing and Advertising Media, Print and Publishing Performing arts Personal and Other Services including Hair and Beauty Retail Sales and Customer Services Science Mathematics and Statistics Security and Armed Forces Social Work and Counselling Services Transport and Logistics 2 CRCI booklet.AW 29/10/04 9:09 am Page 1 How to find Information In both sections information is filed alphabetically, which is in line with what young people requested. The index is designed to be simple and straightforward. In the Work and Training section, job titles have been included in the job family that best represents the occupational sector it falls under. For example; If you were looking for information on how to become a Journalist, then you could think about what journalists do, and as they mainly work in newspapers and television etc. this job title can be located under: Media, Print and Publishing Some jobs can be found in many business sectors e.g. Project Manager. As most jobs of this nature would be based in an office environment then this job title is filed under: Administration, Business and Office work Some careers will not be as obvious. Where there is not a specific sector for the job you may be interested in, you should think about what the training route should be. For example; If you would like to know more about becoming a Debt counsellor the training would concentrate more on counselling rather than the financial side. Although there is a Financial Services job family, you would locate this title under: Social Work and Counselling Services Civil Service, Armed Forces and Local Government These sectors employ people in many different roles, for example: solicitors, scientists, administrative officers and engineers. Information on such general job titles will be located in their own job family, such as: Solicitor in Legal and Political Services, and; Engineer in Engineering Jobs that are specific to Local Government can be found in Administration, Business and Office Work and specific to the Armed Forces can be found in Security and Armed Forces. Non professional jobs in the Civil Service are recruited at three levels. These can also be found in Administration, Business and Office Work. The rest of this booklet contains the complete index and examples of where to find related job information. 1 CRCI booklet.AW 29/10/04 9:09 am Page 2 General Information Choices Introduces the main choices you will face as you progress through learning and work and provides resources to help with important decisions. l Directories of occupational information, websites and software l Years 7/8 l Year 9 l Year 11 l Post-16 Education Helps you with choosing courses at school, and in further education (FE) and higher education (HE), as well as providing information about qualifications, funding for study, gap years and studying abroad. l Education at 14 l Studying abroad l Schools l Mature entry to HE l FE prospectuses l Equal opportunities in learning l Choosing a course and applications l Money for studying l HE prospectuses l Qualifications l Choosing a course l HE applications l Progress File and Individual Learning Plans l Student life l Alternative education l Study skills l Part-time and distance learning l Taking a gap year l Lifelong learning Free Time Provides advice on how to put your spare time to good use, including advice on local groups, volunteering, sport and other personal development activities. l Societies and organisations l Sport and leisure l Volunteering and personal development programmes 2 CRCI booklet.AW 29/10/04 9:09 am Page 3 General Information Health Covers everything to do with keeping you healthy, including healthy eating, sexual health, drugs and alcohol. l Keeping healthy l Healthy eating l Mental health l Sexual health, contraception and pregnancy l Health problems l Keeping safe l Understanding addiction and dependency Alcohol Drugs Gambling Smoking Other addictions Housing Your right to be housed covers issues around leaving home and where to go if you are homeless. l Homelessness l Housing advice l Housing benefits l Leaving home Law, Your Rights and Citizenship Provides all kinds of information about the law, including your rights and responsibilities as a consumer as well as a citizen. l Outside the law l You as a citizen l You as a consumer Money Provides information to help you with budgeting your money, opening a bank account, finding information about benefits and all the financial aspects of going into education, work or training such as tax and National Insurance. l Managing money l Banks and building societies l Benefits l Tax, National Insurance and wages 3 CRCI booklet.AW 29/10/04 9:09 am Page 4 General Information Relationships Provides information on building and maintaining good relationships with friends, family and others. l Bereavement l Bullying and abuse l Family relationships l Personal relationships l Looked after children and leaving care l Being a parent and lone parenthood Travel and Transport Provides details about local transport and how to get about, including learning to drive and how to apply for your driving test. l Driving l Travelling and timetables Where to Get Help Main providers of advice and information – locally and nationally. l Getting help in a hurry l National helplines and organisations l Local helplines and organisations l Help for special groups Asylum seekers Travellers Looked after children Work and Training Contains information about work and training locally, nationally and abroad.
