Alternative Pathways to Higher Education

Location: Face to Face

Date: 2024 - 2025

Time: Time TBC

New for 2024/25, Our Alternative Pathways workshop aims to support students with their next steps after finishing compulsory education through exploring a broad variety of ways students can progress into higher education, and the different types of qualification routes they can take. The workshop also explores alternatives to HE including gap years or full time employment, encouraging students to use their time effectively to discover their preferred pathway. This also includes making deferred, or late applications. This workshop aims to reassure students who may feel undecided about their post-18 education, and to provide them with information and resources to be able to kickstart their post-18 journey.
