Find out about careers
The school careers/Connexions library is one of the best places to find out more about career ideas.
You will find magazines, leaflets and books about hundreds of different jobs and careers.
As well as information about the type of qualifications you will need, what skills you will develop and what is actually like to do that particular job.
There’s also lots of information about the different types of training that is available, or staying on in education and going to sixth form or college.
Look out for the following sources of help:
