Presentation transcript:

When I’ve finished my GCSEs, do I have to stay at school until I'm 18? No, there are many options. You can stay at school, come to College or train on the job with an Apprenticeship in the subject area of your choice.

So what is an Apprenticeship? An Apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to earn while you learn and pick up recognised qualifications. We work with local employers and have many vacancies on our website.
