What does this mean for me after Y13:
The number of students getting a job with
training in each sector is usually fewer than
after Year 11. Employers tend to recruit more new
entrants after GCSEs or after a degree, foundation
degree or equivalent.
Some jobs are only open to people over 18.
These jobs may legally require someone who is an adult
or involve the safety of others, for example trainee
security guard, trainee publican, classroom assistant,
leisure assistant.
Employers may want people over 18 because
they have A levels or equivalent qualifications,
particularly when the training may take several years,
for example, trainee auditor, trainee accountant,
trainee webmaster, trainee quantity surveyor, trainee
logistics (transport) planner.
Employers recruit most apprentices at age
16 to 18 because they get full Government
funding in most cases, for training for 16 to 18 year
olds. There is reduced funding for 19 to 24 year old
apprentices. After 24 there is no apprenticeship funding,
though there may be funding under adult training in
certain situations.
If you decide to look for a job after Y13:
You need to be prepared to look for work within
daily travel distance, not just in your own town,
or even just in Kirklees.
Make sure you prepare well - get your CV ready,
find out about the companies to which you wish to
apply, give thought to the interview... Good luck!
