At PENN, your success is our top priority, and we strive to open doors to educational and career pathways that align with your skills, aspirations, and values.

How We Support School Leavers

We recognize that leaving school can feel overwhelming, with so many choices available. PENN is here to help young people navigate the world of education, apprenticeships, and early career options with clarity and confidence. Our services for school leavers include:

Career Path Exploration

We guide school leavers through a variety of career paths and industries to find options that best fit their interests, skills, and potential. Through career assessments and one-on-one sessions, we help you discover sectors you may enjoy and feel confident about pursuing.

Full-Time Education Options:

For those considering full-time studies, we assist in selecting suitable programs like A Levels, T Levels, vocational qualifications, or specialized technical courses. Our advisors will work with you to determine the educational path that best aligns with your future goals, whether that’s university, college, or another learning institution.

Volunteering and Work-Study Support

We help you find volunteer opportunities and part-time work that align with your future goals. Volunteering can provide valuable skills, bolster your CV, and help you learn about potential career paths, while part-time roles give you insight into workplace dynamics and let you earn while you continue studying.

Apprenticeships and Hands-On Learning

PENN connects young people with apprenticeship opportunities that combine work, training, and earning. Apprenticeships provide a practical route for those who wish to gain hands-on experience, making the transition into the workforce smoother by allowing you to earn a wage while gaining essential skills and qualifications.
