Good luck to everyone receiving their GCSE results this week!

Whatever the results, there are plenty of pathways to help young people reach their goals and gain skills, qualifications and confidence for their future.

Our GC Education & skills team are running their annual campaign to showcase our offering, which makes sure they know that they're not alone, and we're here to help them. We're encouraging them to be proud of everything they've achieved, and take time to celebrate how far they've come.

If you a have child, family member or friend who is exploring their next steps, make sure they take a look at our School Leavers page on the GC Education & Skills website.

Our team have a range of courses and apprenticeships available for 16 to 18 year olds, helping them gain qualifications, develop new skills and prepare for your future career. Whether they're interested in construction, health and social care, business, digital, hair and beauty, or customer service, we're here to help them progress towards their future career.

It's not too late to apply for a degree course with us. If you know someone who's thinking about university, but don't have the qualifications they need, an Access to Higher Education Diploma could be their route to university – we offer courses in Nursing and Midwifery, Business and Social Sciences. They are designed for adults looking to progress to higher education. These courses can help develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to take the next step towards a chosen career.

Didn't get their English or Maths GCSE? No problem. we offer courses with no entry requirements, and they can study English and Maths alongside their chosen vocational course.
