Making Informed Decisions
An online magazine designed to help parents/carers support their children with careers decisions.
Take a look at the parent/carer guide UCAS have produced. It includes information on qualifications, apprenticeships, and study programmes – to help you support your young person in choosing what to do next.
The Hampshire Careers Partnership have produced a resource for young people that explains the options available to them when they leave Year 11 or pre-16 education. You could take a look at this with your young person to learn about what they could go on to do in post-16 education.
