Post 16 choices

Thinking about your next steps at 16?

What you decide to do after Year 11 is important for your future. Your choices right now can affect how easily you get a job or continue your education later. At 16, you can either stay in full-time education or start working in a job that includes part-time education, such as an apprenticeship or training.
