Be honest about the support you need

Your Careers Adviser can help you to arrange visits to find out more about the different training providers. The Careers Adviser can:

  • Meet with you to talk about any support you may need when you go on training
     
  • Arrange an interview for you with a training provider

Top tip

Be honest. Make sure the training provider knows about the support you will need. It is important they know so that they can help you.
