This Young Professional activity for Week 2 of the Create Your Future programme will help you understand the choices you can make for your next steps.
Week 2: Know Your Choices
Are you ready for this week’s Young Professional activity to help you Create Your Future? Let’s get started!
To get the most out of this activity, make sure you are signed up to Create Your Future. It’s a six-week online course designed to help you boost your skills and careers confidence in a way that brings positive change into your life.
Activity: What are the different routes you can take for your next stage in life?
When we talk about routes in life, we are not talking about Star Wars and turning to the light (Jedi) or the dark side (Sith). We are talking about specific options for our next stage in life, whether it’s study, training or work.
For example, after leaving school you could go to uni, go to college, do work-based training, or apply for jobs. But there are many choices within that. You could combine uni, training and jobs with a degree apprenticeship, or your work-based training could be a traineeship or apprenticeship, or you could study a wealth of different courses in college, from A-levels to T-levels or BTECs.
