Discover all of the school-leaver opportunities available to you at this unmissable event!

Leaving school or college with so many options can be confusing. An event like What University? & What Career? Live is the perfect opportunity to speak to leading employers and apprenticeship providers and discover some of the incredible opportunities available right now for school leavers.

While an apprenticeship may be the route you’re set on taking, it’s always worth assessing the choices available to you as a school leaver. Speaking with experts in person is an invaluable method to discover the many different paths you can take, including:

• Apprenticeships: On-the-job training is combined with classroom or home-based learning. Apprenticeships allow you to acquire new skills, gain work experience, and earn a regular income while studying for a qualification. Apprenticeships can help you fast-track your career in your chosen field.
• Finding a job: You can go straight into the world of work. When applying for jobs, remember employers will be looking for key skills like communication and teamwork. If you don’t have any work experience, think about how you have developed skills through sports, hobbies or other extracurricular activities.  
• Higher education: University undergraduate degrees typically last 3 years and offer young people the chance to study a course of their choosing in a field they are passionate about, either while living at home, on campus or in a new city.
• Taking time out: If you’re not sure where you want to go next, you could take a gap year between school and further study or work. You could use this time to get a part-time job and build up your savings, travel, volunteer to gain new skills and more.

Time to start exploring!
