CAREERS ADVICE AND GUIDANCE

At The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London, we offer an impartial careers advice and guidance service via drop-ins, booked appointments, telephone and email to help you make the right decision for your future, both before you join CONEL and once you’re a student.

We have qualified advisors on hand to give you impartial advice and information about the pathways to your future career. This includes help with doing further study or training at CONEL or with another provider, finding the right part-time or full-time job and preparing for interviews, or choosing and applying for a place at university.

We can help you if you are:

Unsure or confused about your career or course choices
At risk of leaving your course early
Worried that you will not succeed on your course
Unsure whether you are on the right course
Confused about your future choices and opportunities

Before you join CONEL…

Our impartial help and advice service provides you with a high standard of confidential information, advice and guidance to direct you to the learning area you need, based on your future goals – whether that be university or your dream career. As our service is completely impartial, this can include referring you to another college or learning provider, if necessary – we want you to make the right choice for your future.
