Welcome to the spring issue of What Next?
We’re delighted to bring you this packed issue of What Next?, a useful accompaniment to the What Career Live? and What University Live? events this March in Birmingham and Liverpool.
In this issue we’ll help you to make sense of the different school-leaver options, from apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships to university courses both in the UK and abroad.
While at the events, make sure to take full advantage of all the advice on offer at the free talks and one-to-one consultations, as well as putting your questions to some of the UK’s top employers and universities. See what’s on and who you can meet on pages 17 to 49.
Since our launch three years ago, we’ve been thrilled to see so many students, parents and teachers leave the event feeling more confident about the different post- school options available.
If you are a student, we hope that you gain a clearer direction for your future or, as one previous visitor put it, “a better grasp of what I can be”.
Good luck with your next steps! 05
