Local Training Providers
Most young people in Oxfordshire continue in school or college or do an apprenticeship until they are 18. But some young people find they need a different solution for their post-16 learning.
Local training providers can help:
- Alternative training programmes
- Support you to overcome problems and difficulties
- You can start throughout the year
- High support, easy access
You can search for training providers on oxme's opportunities search.
Take Action: Learn about further education and training for young people with SEN and disabilities.
Alternative learning in Colleges
Further Education Colleges provide learning resources for apprenticeships and other kinds of work-based learning and professional development.
They also provide engagement programmes to support people to access work or learning, often in partnership with independent training providers.
Take Action: Contact your local FE college to explore your options.
