Transition through education - post 16 education and training
Raising the participation age means that young people must stay in some sort of learning until at least their 18th birthday. Most young people decide to stay in school or college, but there are other options available, including training, apprenticeships, voluntary work or employment with training.
Visit our post 16 education and training pages to learn more about the range of opportunities and pathways available to young people with SEND.
