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.

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.
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
Careers interviews are an ideal opportunity for you to discuss with a qualified careers adviser the
Under the Labour Market Information section 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.
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.
There are lots of opportunities to help you find out about different careers and to find something to suit your skills.
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.
TALK TO SOMEONE
SEARCH ONLINE
You can find lots of information online about careers. In the Careers Service section of our website there are 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.
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.
WHICH ROUTE TO CHOOSE?
With an academic approach and studying a range of subjects, these qualifications are primarily
assessed by written exams (though some have a coursework element in them). They are a route to university, employment or apprenticeships.
T Levels
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 Checkdo.
T Levels are relatively new courses which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to 3 A Levels. They combine classroom theory, practical learning and a significant industry placement. Designed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that they meet the needs of industry and prepare students for work, T Levels will prepare you to progress into a skilled job, or you can choose to take further technical training, such as a higher apprenticeship or degree.
These focus on one subject area and are mainly assessed through a combination of coursework and controlled assessment. All levels offer a route to employment and apprenticeships, and Level 3 courses can provide progression to university.
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.
When you know what entry requirements 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. Remember though, try and choose subjects you

spelling and grammar - and definitely make sure you’ve spelt the name of the subject you’re applying for correctly. You could get a friend, teacher or family member to read it and give feedback if you’re not sure.

you. WHAT I ENJOY AND AM GOOD AT CAREERS I’M INTERESTED IN & SKILLS/QUALIFICATIONS I NEED research to do EMPLOYERS/COMPANIES I COULD WORK FOR
Use these pages to note any thoughts you have on courses, jobs or careers that interest
ideas so far
sam Studying Construction Design, Surveying & Planning T Level
I chose to study this T Level because of the site experience opportunity it provides. The course provides you with so much information about the construction industry and work experience, which gives you the edge over other students, not only in getting a job in the industry but also in university applications too.
i like practical workwhat can i do?
My experience at College has been excellent so far, all of my tutors have been supportive and I’ve had the opportunity to meet plenty of new people.
what type of courses can i do?
I chose York College because the facilities are great as there are plenty of areas to study and hang out with friends. They also push you to be a little more independent with your studying and the sociology course here looked really good.
I chose A Levels because I wanted to attend university and I chose these subjects in order to access the university courses I was interested in studying. Sociology is also a very different structure from the other two subjects so it made my combination more interesting.
the routes we chose
After my course I intend to go to university to study dentistry.
The tutors are very helpful and supportive and I have enjoyed being here.
what type of courses can i do?
Lucy Studying A Level Chemistry, Biology and Sociology
In the future I would like a career in architecture.
Studying DraughtspersonEngineeringApprenticeshipEmployer:Siemens
what type of courses can i do? i like practical workwhat can i do?
I chose this course as I’m not very good with exams, so assignment work is much more preferable for me. All of my tutors are really helpful and I don’t feel like each assignment has to be rushed, although you do need to make sure you’re organised.
Studying Applied Science Extended Diploma Level 3
mert
I chose York College after my brother and friends recommended it to me and I’m so glad I chose the College, as I’m treated as an adult.
My tutor has been a great help and has helped me achieve Distinctions throughout the course. The tutors are always on hand to help if you have any questions, and I’ve found my course really enjoyable.
molly
My experience has been great as I get to learn how things work and why they work, and I can then apply this knowledge to my workshop tasks, which helps to develop my skills and knowledge. The staff are really supportive and are great to collaborate with, they help us develop wider skills as well, such as our professional behaviours, which help prepare us for the workplace.
I chose this course because I wanted to get my foot in the door with regards to engineering and I thought that an apprenticeship would be the best option as I could learn on the job and get real experience of working in engineering whilst getting paid.
When I’ve completed this course I’m planning on studying forensic science at university.
