School Leavers
Helping School Leavers take the first step into their future with confidence
Leaving school is a big moment. Whether you are thinking about applying for an apprenticeship, heading into Further Education or starting work for the first time, we are here to help you make that transition feel less daunting and more focused. At Career Garage, we offer practical, personal support to help you get started with confidence.
We work with school leavers to build clear next steps, develop useful skills and feel more prepared to take on the world beyond the classroom.
Personalised Career Guidance
Everyone’s path is different. We take the time to get to know your interests, strengths and goals so we can help you figure out what is next. Whether you have a clear plan or no idea where to start, our school leaver support is designed to meet you where you are and help you build a future that feels right for you.
Skill Development and Confidence Building
Employers look for more than just qualifications. We help you develop the skills that matter most, from communication and problem solving to leadership and time management. You will feel more confident about what you have to offer and how to talk about it.
CV and Cover Letter Support
If you have never written a CV before, do not worry. We help you create a strong first CV and cover letter that reflects your potential. Whether you are applying for your first job, an apprenticeship or further study, we help you stand out in the right way.

Interviews can feel intimidating when you are just starting out. We support you through mock interviews, coaching and feedback to help you feel more confident and comfortable. You will learn how to answer questions clearly, highlight your strengths and leave a great impression.
