Get support to understand your options and take a manageable next step towards education, training or work.
Start from where you are now
If you are not currently in education, employment or training, you do not need to have a complete plan before you ask for help. The first step is working out what is getting in the way and what kind of next move feels realistic.
Work out what you want
You might want a job, training, a course or simply some help understanding what your choices are.
Identify the barriers
Travel, confidence, qualifications, experience, health, caring responsibilities or not knowing where to start can all affect your options.
Choose one next action
A useful first step could be exploring careers, improving an application, researching a course or talking things through.
You have not missed your chance
People move between education, training and work at different times. The important thing is finding a next step that is useful and manageable from where you are now.
