If going on training is what you would like to do after leaving school, you have to plan ahead.
Important times during the year
- Talk to your parents / carers about leaving school
- Ask to see the Careers Adviser in school to find out more about training
- Find out more about training by looking at Be a trainee
Top tip
Find out as much as you can about all of your options and think about what suits you best.
Alison, Careers Adviser
Find out what training providers are near you. Your Careers Adviser can help you with this.
Look at the Training Provider websites to find out more about what they can offer.
Talk to your Careers Adviser if you have any questions.
Top tip
Ask questions! Think about what you want to know about training. You can write your questions down to remind yourself.
Dylan, Careers Adviser
Your Careers Adviser can help you to arrange visits to find out more about the different training providers. The Careers Adviser can:
- Meet with you to talk about any support you may need when you go on training
- Arrange an interview for you with a training provider
Top tip
Be honest. Make sure the training provider knows about the support you will need. It is important they know so that they can help you.
Helen, Careers Adviser
You can start training as soon as you finish Year 11 (this will be the last Friday in June), so you can start training from July.
