When you reach the end of Year 11 you’re faced with a really big decision about your future - What do I do next? 

Careful thought and planning can make this decision a lot easier and ensure that you have considered all the options available to you and are really making the choice that is right for you. 

The right qualifications and training will help you to stay ahead in the future. Some people prefer to learn while they're working, but others are happier doing a full time course. 

Whatever you decide to do next, you'll need to keep developing new skills so that you don't get left behind… 

Maybe you're sorted with training, a job or a course. But if you're not, don't worry! Connexions Blackburn with Darwen can help you and talk through all the opportunities that are out there - including Apprenticeships, college/sixth form, work-based learning and gap years.
