What next? Careers advice and further education


What do you want to do in the future? Whether you have a set plan, a few ideas, or no clue where to start, there are plenty of resources to help you on your way to your dream job. The slideshow above includes details about current 'hot jobs', such as the salary (how much you earn each year), job market (how many available jobs there might be in the future), and the skills and interests it might be useful for you to have.


National Careers Week was at the beginning of March and the NCW website has lots of information about how to explore different pathways. They cover academic, vocational and applied qualifications, with new information for 2021 about virtual work experience. There is a great guide which breaks down all the different options available here: https://nationalcareersweek.com/download/24531/ It's labelled as a parent's guide, so can be useful if you'd like to chat with your family about the future, but all of the information is really helpful just for you to have a read through and understand more about the world of work and further education.


If you're in Year 9 - Year 13, you can book an appointment with Wendy, the college careers advisor by emailing wgibson@helston.cornwall.sch.uk . These appointments will give you a chance to discuss your options, whether you're trying to figure out what to take for GCSE, A-level or even which universities/apprenticeships to apply to.
