Employment Volunteering and Training

Some young people choose to enter employment or undertake significant volunteering while continuing with part-time education or training. This route enables young people to gain valuable workplace experience, develop employability skills and continue their learning. Remember that all young people in England must remain in education or training until they are 18.
