School leavers

If you are about to leave or have just left school and need some advice about your future, why not speak to a Careers Adviser in your local Jobs & Benefits office / JobCentre?

The Training for Success external link programme may be right for you if you have left school and can’t find a job or need to develop new skills. Perhaps an apprenticeship is something that interests you. Find out more information on ApprenticeshipNI -

Alternatively, you could consider going into Further or Higher Education to study part-time, full-time, a short course or a degree. Finally, your local Jobs & Benefits office / JobCentre offers a number of services and programmes to provide you with the extra help you need to find work.

The Careers Service website external link provides a host of information, advice and contacts in helping people of all ages make informed career decisions. It contains many interactive features and a number of multi-media resources that will enable you to explore fully the range of careers available. It also provides details of all Careers Advisers throughout Northern Ireland.
