Planning your next steps

Young people aged 16+ will now have received their exam results and will be thinking about their next steps. But no matter what your grades - there is a place in learning for you, guaranteed. 

A great place to start when thinking about your options is to talk to the careers adviser at your place of learning, or by asking at your local FE college. Some local colleges are also running enrolment events until the end of August.

Good to know: You can access advice and support with your exam results from the National Careers Service, either by visiting their website or calling their helpline 0800 100 900 . 

What are my options? 

At age 16+ you have options on where you can study. These include:

• Going to college
• Getting an apprenticeship
• Studying T-Levels 

You can explore local opportunities, including courses and apprenticeships in Oxfordshire here on oxme. 

Take action: Young job seekers in Oxfordshire looking for their first job or apprenticeship can also sign up to receive our top opportunities weekly in our e-newsletter. 

Let us know 

All young people need to stay in learning until age 18. If you already know where you will be studying this September, you can register your details to let us know. 

If you are currently out of education, employment or training aged 16-18, you can let us know and request support.
