Get the Jump
The ‘Get the Jump’ Skills for Life campaign page on the National Careers Service website can help young people aged 14-19 to understand their education and training choices, how they compare and where they can lead.
Young people can see all the choices available to them in one place – including T Levels, Apprenticeships, Traineeships and Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs), with information about what each involves, what subjects are available, and real life stories from students.
