You're expected to stay in a form of education or training until you're 18. This can include employment with training, such as an apprenticeship.
This is so you can gain the qualifications you need to succeed in your chosen career.
We can give you advice and guidance about your options.
We want you to succeed so we'll ask you how you're doing, and we'll record this in your personal education plan (PEP), your pathway plan, or both. We'll be ready to celebrate your achievements with you.
Our Aspirations Officer can also help with your education, training, and employment goals.
They can support you to:
- discover your strengths and interests
- write your CV
- prepare for interviews.
