You may be looking for part time work whilst studying or looking for full time employment/apprenticeships after finishing your education. The Digital Stoke- on-Trent team can support you in the hunt for the right job. We post job vacancies, events and other opportunities which are relevant to young people in our area on our Facebook page, alongside adding all local opportunities to the vacancy section of the website.
Local training providers offer training opportunities in a variety of occupational areas. These courses provide you with the skills and experience to progress into apprenticeships, further training or employment. The FORGE SOTC programme is available locally through Stoke-on-Trent College. So, if learning in a hands-on environment suits you better, get in touch with our digital careers advisers about current opportunities local to you.
Apprenticeships offer significant advantages for young people. They can help you gain practical experience, develop industry-recognised qualifications, and develop transferable skills. Apprenticeships can also help young people to increase their chances of employment, earn higher wages, and progress in their careers more quickly.
As part of the Raising Participation Age legislation, young people are required to stay in learning until at least their 18th Birthday. This doesn’t mean young people have to stay in school or college, but this is an option. There are many local schools and colleges that offer courses of interest.
Free time offers the opportunity for self-discovery and allows you to explore new interests, attend events, meet new people and find a new hobby or skill.
