The Connexions
initiative was designed to get young people between the ages of 13 and 19 into
further education. A personal adviser helps support them in the decision making
process, encouraging and assisting them to seek appropriate training.
ACTION COMMUNICATIONS, working with our client VSU, was asked to devise a
manual to be provided to the 250 personal advisers, specifically dealing with
volunteering opportunities in Kent.
The project
involved working to a timetable (including the Easter Weekend), devising a grid
before all parameters had been defined, re-making complete sections and holding
open sections for late submissions.
Production included die-cutting, hand collation and assembly and pre-sampling
various binders and
design solutions.
The finished product - a valuable print/web-based resource.
