Next steps advice for A Level students
Students receiving their A Level, BTec (Level 3) and T level results who are unsure of their next steps are being encouraged by Oxfordshire County Council to explore the wealth of advice and information on options available from key and trusted organisations.
Help is on offer about continuing in education to seeking employment or training.
Advice can be found at oxme.info and on the National Careers Service’s website or through its helpline 0800 100 900.
Young people interested in apprenticeships can visit a number of websites for further information: oxme, Gov.UK or UCAS.
While those who haven’t got the grades necessary for higher education or their university of choice, there are options. Students can access key advice from UCAS or can read the education hub blog on Gov.UK.
Councillor Sean Gaul, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “As always, results day is one of mixed emotions, from celebrations to disappointments with many students asking ‘what do I do next?’
“Some students will have a clear way forward. However, for others, it will be a time of reflection, considering options or adjusting their plans.
“There are many choices available, from higher education, like university, to beginning work, starting a career on an apprenticeship or embarking on a training programme.
“Support is available through a number of services that offer help for young people.
“I’d like to thank the wide number of educational professionals who have taught, coached and mentored our young people during their time in Oxfordshire’s schools and colleges.”
