Learning choices

Every 16 to 19 year old not in education, employment or training is guaranteed an offer of a place in learning or training under the opportunities for all initiative.

An offer could be one of the following:

  • Full or part time education in school, college or higher education
  • Full or part time employment or self-employment
  • National training programmes such as the Skills Development Scotland employability fund, modern apprenticeships or locally recognised, good quality training
  • An activity agreement
  • Volunteering or gap year

Your school will work in partnership with you and others to make sure that a suitable offer is in place prior to you leaving school.
