BLACK CARD CONNEXIONS PROJECT

Black Card Connexions Activities at SADACCA, Sheffield

The Black CARD Connexions Service is a free,  confidential service for young people from Ethnic Minority backgrounds between 13-19 years old and up to 21 years for those with special needs.  We offer a variety of services including:  

Access to specialist careers advice - Access to a wide range of information, such as further education details, work based learning, employment, housing, health issues, family problems and personal development - Access to job and training vacancies - Help in job search activities (filling in application forms, compiling CVs and preparing for interviews) - Access to computer-aided guidance and the internet.  

INFORMATION SHARING: We aim to work with schools, colleges, organisations and other helping services in order to get Ethnic Minority young people the best support available.  In order to do this we may need to share information about young people with them.

We will only do this with the young person's permission.

We will give them practical information, advice and support to help them to make the right decisions and take part in our youth forum activities. To create the best start in life for every black and minority young person in Sheffield.

We have an enthusiastic, friendly and committed team who will support and help with any issues young Ethnic Minority people might be facing.
