Options and Careers

At The Switch, we know that making decisions at an early age can be daunting and confusing, so our Options & Careers Workshop is here to help students make smart choices about their future. In our workshop, students explore different career pathways, how to make smart GCSE choices and what steps they can take after they finish Y11 including apprenticeships, A-levels and T-levels.

This can be hosted in school or at your workplace.

Volunteer

Help students make informed decisions about their future by sharing your experiences and career journey. This workshop explores different pathways after school and how students can make smart choices for the future.

The workshops are run by The Switch facilitators so all you need to do is join in and support the students in their activities! This is an in-person event.

Volunteer in person – interact with students and speak with them directly as they ask questions about your career journey.
Full day event - make the most of your volunteering by spending a full day with young people.
Empower young people - interact with students and talk about your career path inspires their own career.
