Now that your A-Levels are in the rear-view mirror, you’re probably thinking about your next destination.

There are plenty of other options available for where you’re heading next. 

 

"I want to get a job." 

If you’re ready to jump right into the world of work, we have jobs that are suitable for school leavers available right here, right now.

From Holiday Hosts at the Skills Group to Retail Superstars at Greggs, you can check them out over on our Vacancies page. 

 

"I'm thinking of doing an Apprenticeship." 

Why choose between a qualification and a job when you can have it both ways? Apprenticeships are a great way to learn on the job, earn some money, and end up qualified in the sector you’re interested in.  

Take a look at our current apprenticeship vacancies to see what’s right for you.

“I found out about the English Functional Skills course at Futures by reaching out to a lady who helped with careers at my secondary school. She helped me to get in contact with the right people, and we went from there. The staff are nice and friendly and explain the work well – it's really helped throughout the course.” Courtney is completing an English Functional Skills course with Futures after leaving education.
