University, a gap year, an apprenticeship or maybe a job? Just four of the many options facing 18 year olds leaving college. But how can you help your young people make the right decision?
This episode is the second of three in ‘Options October’. Last week we focused on post-16 choices and in the third of the three we'll look at ‘retraining’, but in this episode, it’s all about the options open to young people post-18.
Joining Rachel are Lis Herron, from the National Careers Service, and Jamie Martin, the Partnerships Manager at Not Going To Uni. Lis and Jamie answer questions from Brian Fletcher, whose daughter has just finished Year 13 and is exploring her options.
The Parent Perspective, hosted by BBC presenter Rachel Burden, was created to help parents and carers support their children in making more informed career decisions with greater confidence, knowledge and understanding.
In each episode we will share your experiences of navigating career conversations with your children and provide insights into how the world of work is changing from trusted experts, organisations and employers already working with young people today.
If you have any questions that you need answers to, you can join the conversation on social media by following @AmazingAppsUK and @NotGoingToUni and using the hashtag #parentperspective.
