Torfaen Youth Service Young People's information service was the first in Wales to be awarded the Canllaw-online quality mark for the standard of its information service to young people. As at November 1st 2002 we are the only information service in Wales that has Canllaw-online OCN level 3 qualified staff. The training course was piloted in Torfaen and the completion of this, coupled with the quality of our provision, enabled us to receive the award from Jane Davidson, the Welsh Assembly Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning at a ceremony in Newport on October 30th 2002.
In 2004 the contract for the information provider for young people in Wales was awarded to Careers Wales and their new website CLIC was launched on October 1st. Information about the service the new national provider will be offering can be read on this pdf document or via this link.
