If you’re aged 16 to 19 and feeling unsure about your next steps after GCSEs, you’re not alone. Many young people feel this way at this stage. Maybe you’ve started sixth form and realised it’s not the right fit. Or maybe you haven’t signed up for anything yet and are worried you’ve missed your chance.
You haven’t.
