Survey Suggests More Action Needed for University Alternatives Awareness

The survey quizzed 7,000 students between the ages of ten and 13 on what they thought of their experiences of careers advice and their career options and possible routes once they’ve finished school.

68% of male and 82% of female students stated that they planned to go to university, whilst only one per cent said that they intended to take on a school leaver programme.

University is still a good option, however there’s never been a better time to make a decision about a route into a career. Apprenticeships and school leaver programmes are on the up, providing valid routes into work with opportunities to gain professional qualifications and avoid student debt.
