Focus on careers in Gloucestershire - teachers' page

For many young people, traditional subject options have limited their opportunities when it comes to jobs, training, further and higher education. An expanding range of qualifications now gives them a much greater choice of progression routes. These include new sector-related Diplomas, which may also involve study towards academic qualifications such as GCSEs or 'A' Levels.

Focus on Careers in Gloucestershire has been developed to support all young people in their decisions. It also complements information advice and guidance from teachers and other practitioners. Packed with well-researched information on learning and the local labour market, Focus on Careers gives an insight into progression routes within the career areas listed below.
