Introduction to Options after Year 11 Webinar

SENDIAS poster

Would you like to know what opportunities there are after your young person finishes year 11? This recorded webinar is a short introduction to what young people could consider doing after they are 16.

It focusses on those able to go to college or consider work at some point rather than those with very complex needs. We look at education and employment routes and how to encourage your son or daughter to gain the skills needed to make their way in life.

We consider:

  • Pathways to employment
  • Education options and what the different levels mean
  • What to look out for choosing a college
  • Work based training
  • Finding work
  • Other options
  • How to encourage your young person to make decisions about their future
  • Creating an action plan for the future
