Students collecting their GCSE results across Lichfield and Burntwood are being reminded of the options available to them.
Thousands across the country will be learning their grades today (24th August) and will now decide whether to move on to things such as A Levels, vocational courses, apprenticeships or employment with part-time study.
Staffordshire County Council’s Careers Participation Service is urging students to check out the Staffordshire Jobs and Careers website for advice on their next steps.
Cllr Jonathan Price, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for education, said:
“Today, thousands of students across Staffordshire will be nervously awaiting their GCSE results, and I want to congratulate every one of them for the work they have put in over the last two years. All students should be proud of their results, no matter what they achieve.
“All young people need to stay in education or training until they are 18, but this does not have to be full time at school or college. Students can mix and match with work-based experience, or even become self-employed.
“Our career experts are on hand to give those who are perhaps unsure about their future the right advice and support to help them take that next step.”
Cllr Jonathan Price, Staffordshire County Council
