Pathways into work
There is more than one pathway to a job. If you’re a ‘hands on’ person then consider an
apprenticeship. Go for sixth form or college if they offer the right subjects. Either route could
lead to higher education. Perhaps you need a little extra support to get you on the right track –
which could lead to your dream job!

sound too good to be true but as an
apprentice that’s exactly what you’d do.

job roles to choose from? You can build
up your knowledge and skills and gain
