Support for Young People
Post A Level, T Level and GCSE support
If you didn't achieve the A or T level results, or GCSE results that you were hoping for then don't worry, there's lots of support out there for you to help you progress forwards.
The two main avenues for you to look at for your support would be UCAS and the National Careers Service.
You can get help through UCAS with careers, Apprenticeships and University places, further information in the external link box.
The National Careers Service can help with support and advice, further information on your Post 16 Options can be found in the link in the external link box.
We also have a dedicated officer here at Blaby District Council, who will be able to support you with your future steps.
