Career pathways
There is more than one pathway to a job. You may prefer to ‘earn as you learn’, by choosing an
apprenticeship. Go for sixth form or college if they offer the right subjects. Either route could
lead to higher education.
Apprenticeships
Getting paid while you learn might sound too
good to be true but as an apprentice that’s
exactly what you’d do. There are 100s of
different job roles to choose from! You
can build up your knowledge and skills
and gain qualifications while earning at
the same time. Explore films of different
