2027 Career Choices A LEVEL | MIX | T LEVEL | VOCATIONAL | APPRENTICESHIP


Choices Choosing the right course or combination of subjects to study after Year 11 is exciting, but can also seem a bit confusing when there are so many options to choose from. So it’s important to look into the range of professions and careers that courses can lead on to. To give you a little help, the following pages show a selection of possible careers open to you from specific subject areas. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but is a good starting point to help you decide which course area might be right for you. When looking at specific courses at York College, you’ll also find details of progression routes and opportunities in the ‘Your Next Steps’ section of each course description.

Getting started There are lots of ways you can find out about different careers and find something to suit your skills.

SEARCH ONLINE You can find information online about careers, including on the ‘Your Future’ page in the Your Student Support section of our website. Here you’ll find links to useful online resources including how to contact the National Careers Service for confidential and impartial advice and guidance, and a link to iCould, which provides inspiration through video stories as well as practical tips, insight and advice. On the ‘Your Future’ page you can use the Careerometer to explore and compare key information about occupations and identify potential careers. Our careers advisers can also provide e-guidance to prospective students if you can’t find the information you need - just email careers@yorkcollege.ac.uk.

TALK TO SOMEONE Careers interviews are an ideal opportunity for you to discuss with a qualified careers adviser the areas of work you are interested in. The careers adviser will have a wide range of information they can provide you with to help you make a decision about which subjects you plan to study. Careers fairs give you the perfect opportunity to get advice about the different routes available to you all in one place. Often with employers, training providers, sixth forms, colleges and universities attending, you can gather the information needed to plan the steps in to your career. Work experience can provide an insight into employment and the skills required in the workplace. If this isn’t available then why not try and do some volunteer work? It shows you have initiative and the commitment to find out more about what you are interested in. Plus you’ll learn valuable communication and teamwork skills. Friends, family and teachers can help when you’re thinking about your own skills and strengths. Sometimes it’s hard to be objective so asking someone who knows you can help.

EXPLORE BY CAREER TOOL Have a look at the Explore by Career tool on the York College & University Centre website to find out about different careers as well as take the profile quiz to find out which careers are based on your interests.

Which route to choose? When you know what qualifications you need for the career you want to follow, you can work backwards to see what you need to study after Year 11. Often there are different routes available, so you can choose the method of working that suits your learning style, always remembering to try and choose subjects you enjoy.

T Levels A Levels A Levels are studied over two years and are mainly assessed via written exams at the end of those two years though some have a coursework element in them. These can be studied in practically any combination. They are a route to university, employment and apprenticeships.

Mix Mix subjects are equivalent to one A Level and allow students to study one vocational course with two A Levels, offering a more personalised learning experience tailored to career aspirations and academic goals.

T Levels are vocational qualifications, equivalent to A Levels, which combine academic classroom study with a significant work placement.

Vocational Courses Vocational Courses tend to be more practical and hands-on, and are assessed via practical observations/examinations, coursework, projects etc. Some courses include work experience.

Apprenticeships Apprenticeships combine workplace learning in paid employment and learning in the College environment, and can be assessed in a variety of ways including practical observations, building a portfolio and online tests.

PERSONAL STATEMENT When you apply for a course at college or sixth form, you’ll be asked to write something to say why you want to do the course/subjects you’ve chosen and what you’re aiming to do when you finish. It doesn’t have to be really long, just a short paragraph is fine. It’s important that you are interested in the course or subjects you are applying for and what you’ve chosen is relevant to any future plans you have. If you don’t yet know what you want to do then that’s okay, but you do need to show that you have an interest in what you are applying to do. Your application is the starting point to ensure you study the right course for you and to help you progress on to your next steps. You could get a friend, teacher or family member to read it and give feedback if you’re not sure.
