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 & 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 & feel more prepared to take on the world beyond the classroom.

Whether you have a clear plan or no idea where to start, our school leaver support is designed to meet you where you are & help you build a future that feels right for you.

Skill Development & Confidence Building

Employers look for more than just qualifications. We help you develop the skills that matter most, from communication & problem solving to leadership & time management. You will feel more confident about what you have to offer & how to talk about it.
