A: Being unsure about your future is a growing problem faced by school and college-leavers. The lack of information about all the different routes available to them after school certainly does not help. As a recent City & Guilds survey showed – 75 per cent of school-leavers had been told about university but only 49 per cent knew about apprenticeships.
The best route is to take the time to sit down and discuss your options with family and friends, teachers and career advisors. Getting feedback allows you to determine what is best for you.
The NotGoingToUni website presents a range of opportunities outside of the traditional university route such as distance learning, foundation degrees, gap years, voluntary work and advice on getting a sponsored degree, all of which offer routes to success.
