University, apprenticeship or straight into a job? Our Step Up Expo helps you decide...
Julie Henry reveals why next week’s education and careers show is a must-visit for teens and parents alike
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It sounds like a simple enough question — and it’s one that we all remember well from primary school — but working out the answer today is harder than it has ever been. There are now countless vocational and academic courses and an even wider range of potential occupations to consider, all part of an education and careers landscape that is hugely complex.
As a parent or teenager, it can be incredibly daunting, but help is at hand in the form of the Evening Standard’s Step Up Expo, which takes place at London Olympia next week. A unique mix of more than 70 leading schools, colleges, , , employers and training providers brought together under one roof, there is no better place to gain some insight into which pathway is right for you.
