Work and Training
Some of us know exactly what we want to be, and some of us have no idea. Some of us start a job and then realise that we would like to do something totally different. Some of us have to stop work for a while, and then wonder how to get back into the workplace.
Here maybe a few things you may have questions about:
training and apprenticeships
getting a job
how to write a great CV
rights at work
different ways of Working
working while at school
volunteering
You cannot start full time work until you reach the official school leaving age of 16. You can do some paid for work, such as a paper round, when you are 13, but you need to check the laws and the local regulations first.
Doing voluntary work is a good way of gaining experience, getting involved in something you enjoy or believe in, and even travelling the world.
If you have commitments that limit the number of hours or the times you can work, then you still have job options. If you have a disability, then there is help available so that you can take your place in the workplace. If you are a budding Richard Branson, then there is plenty of advice and support to get you started.
