Education and Work
Unemployment levels are rising and it's young people who are feeling it most right now. It's in all the newspapers and TV reports, in fact it's everywhere you turn. Finding work can be quite a daunting experience, not least when there's a recession.
Sometimes it can feel like work is never-ending and exams are impossible. And, just when you've got through it all you have to find a job and start all over again.
If you're at school, college or university and struggling with your work, having trouble with a teacher or being bullied, you don't have to worry on your own. There is lots of advice and information available to you and Get Connected can put you in touch with it.
