Why do we work with partner organisations?
At Calderdale & Kirklees Careers we work in partnership
with a number of organisations to ensure we can:
- meet the needs of our customers
- deliver the best services possible
- improve access to our services by providing them
on an outreach basis at partner premises or co-working
through our Connexions Centres
- by improving systems, which enable partners to refer
their customers to our services.
Who are our partners?
We work extensively with other providers including
Youth Support Services, Education Social Workers/Welfare,
Social Services, the local authorities, Youth Justice
Services, Jobcentre Plus, voluntary organisations, training
providers and a network of guidance providers, locally
and across West Yorkshire to bring together a network
of services for our customers.
We are also members of local Connexions Management
Committees where local organisations work together to
provide joined-up services to young people between the
ages of 13 and 19, which is how some of our more innovative
partnerships have come about.
At Calderdale & Kirklees Careers we are one of
the founding members of Careers West Yorkshire, an organisation
that has the contract from the Learning and Skills Council
to provide adult information, advice and guidance (IAG)
services through the nextstep West Yorkshire Partnership.
The other members of Careers West Yorkshire are Careers
Bradford Ltd, igen Ltd (Leeds) and Guidance Services
Ltd. The Regional TUC also provides a board director.
Take a look at the mission
statement (29.9kb Adobe Acrobat) for providing
information, advice and guidance across West Yorkshire.
We also make it possible for partners to offer their
services on our premises where those services meet the
needs of our customers. These include:
- Streetscene and the SHAP Housing Advice Service
in Huddersfield Connexions Centre
- the co-location of the Information Shop for Young
People (Calderdale Primary Care Trust) in the Halifax
Connexions Centre. Calderdale Voluntary Action also
provides advice on volunteering for people of all
ages. For more information contact Nadine at the Information
Shop on 01422 330033.
