‘Get the Jump’ on education and training choices for young people
Taking a next step in life can feel daunting for anyone. But young people aged 14 to 19 are facing two key decision points in their education and training journey – and making a decision today that could affect the rest of their lives can feel overwhelming.
Thankfully, the new ‘Get the Jump’ hub on the National Careers Service website can help take the stress out of young people’s next move.
The hub brings together all post-16 and post-18 education and training choices in one place for the first time. So it’s easier for young people to make an informed decision – whether that’s T Levels, A Levels, university, apprenticeships, a Higher Technical Qualification or something else!
Please take a look and share the hub with the young people you’re advising, giving them a useful tool to help make their next step their best yet.
