getting started There are lots of opportunities to help you find out about different careers and to find something to suit your skills.

SEARCH ONLINE You can find lots of information online about careers. In the Careers Service section of our website there are links to useful online resources including how to contact the National Careers Service for confidential and impartial advice and guidance, and a link to iCould, which provides inspiration through video stories as well as practical tips, insight and advice.

Under the Labour Market Information section you can use the Careerometer to explore and compare key information about occupations and identify potential careers. Our careers advisers can also provide e-guidance to prospective students if you can’t find the information you need – just email careers@yorkcollege.ac.uk.

TALK TO SOMEONE Careers interviews are an ideal opportunity for you to discuss with a qualified careers adviser the areas of work you are interested in. They will have a wide range of information they can provide you with to help you make a decision about which subjects you plan to study.

Careers fairs give you the perfect opportunity to get advice about the different routes available to you all in one place. Often with employers, training providers, sixth forms, colleges and universities attending, you can gather the

information needed to plan the steps into your career.

Work experience can provide an insight into employment and the skills required in the workplace. If this isn’t available then why not try and do some volunteer work? It shows you have initiative and the commitment to find out more about what you are interested in. Plus you’ll learn valuable communication and teamwork skills.

Friends, family and teachers can help when you’re thinking about your own skills and strengths. Sometimes it’s hard to be objective so asking someone who knows you can help.

WHICH ROUTE TO CHOOSE? When you know what entry requirements you need for the career you want to follow, you can work backwards to see what you need to study after Year 11.

Often there are different routes available, so you can choose the method of working that suits your learning style. Remember though, try and choose subjects you enjoy!

Vocational courses These focus on one subject area and are mainly assessed through a combination of coursework and controlled assessment.

All levels offer a route to employment and apprenticeships, and Level 3 courses can provide progression to university.

T Levels T Levels are relatively new courses which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels. They combine classroom theory, practical learning and a significant

industry placement. Designed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that they meet the needs of industry and prepare students for work, T Levels will prepare you to progress into a skilled job, or you can choose to take further technical training, such as a higher apprenticeship or degree.

A Levels With an academic approach and studying a range of subjects, these qualifications are primarily assessed by written exams (though some have a coursework element in them). They are a route to university, employment or apprenticeships.

Apprenticeships These provide on and off-the-job training, working alongside experienced staff, whilst being paid. Degree level Higher Apprenticeships are also available.

PERSONAL STATEMENT When you apply for a course at college or sixth form, you’ll be asked to write something to say why you want to do the course/subjects you’ve chosen and what you’re aiming to do when you finish. It doesn’t have to be really long, just a short paragraph is fine.

It’s important that you are interested in the course or subjects you are applying for and what you’ve chosen is relevant to any future plans you have. If you don’t yet know what you want to do then that’s fine, but you do need to show that you have an interest in what you are applying to do.

Check spelling and grammar – and definitely make sure you’ve spelt the name of the subject you’re applying for correctly! You could get a friend, teacher or family member to read it and give feedback if you’re not sure.

the routes we chose amelia

what type of courses can i do? i like practical workwhat can i do?

Studying A Level Modern History, Law and Politics I chose this subject combination as I knew Law and Politics would work well together and I’d like to become a Constitutional Barrister in the future, and these subjects will definitely help me to achieve my goal. I’ve really enjoyed learning about international politics and international law, and particularly liked human rights and philosophy elements of the courses.

The support I received at York College was amazing. The tutors really went the extra mile to support me in my goals, and my Law tutor even managed to get me some great work experience at the Magistrates Court!

I’m going on to study Law at Durham University.

BRADLEY

what type of courses can i do?

Studying the Production Chef Apprenticeship EMPLOYER: HOLIDAY INN I chose this course because I wanted to be a chef and have always liked cooking, and the practical aspects suit me better than writing. I really enjoy College and my tutor is great. One day I would like to own my own restaurant.

ISABEL

Studying Construction Design, Surveying & Planning T Level I started work placement at VINCI Construction UK because of the amazing opportunity given to me to undertake work placement on a site. The main advantage of being on work placement is gaining industry experience with different types of professionals in the construction industry.

feranmi

what type of courses can i do? i like practical workwhat can i do?

Studying Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Level 3 I chose Engineering as a subject to study because it is what I want to do for a career in the future. I liked that the course had practical elements that relate to the industry and that we’re not solely assessed through exams. I enjoy soldering and using the AutoCAD software, an essential skill in the engineering industry.

I really enjoy my course and all of my tutors are very friendly and easy to talk to. The way they teach makes doing the assignments that we are set very clear and straight forward.

After College I would like to attend university to study a degree in Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) with the hope of getting a job in the industry.
