Employment via apprenticeship, further or higher education

What are the general indicators that the young person will likely be working towards a pathway into employment?

There are various measures we can use to work this out. We start by thinking about where the young person is most likely to be working at or have gained qualifications in by the end of their EHCP.

For a pathway to employment, see the examples listed below as a helpful guide:

• The young person will generally be working towards/gained qualifications in:
  • Level 2 Functional Skills
  • GCSE's
  • Level 3 qualifications
• The young person will aspire to attend further or higher education or to follow an apprenticeship route.
• The young person aspires to move into paid employment. This could be through further/higher education or an apprenticeship.
• The young person will have developed good self-regulation skills.
•  The young person will be an independent traveller. They will have good self-care skills and develop independent living skills.
•  The young person will be able to follow instructions and carry out tasks.
•  The young person will have no significant barriers to employment.
