Making decisions is a key aspect of transition through key stages 3 to 5. It is important for young people to get involved with this process and recognise why they will benefit from leading on their own decision making whenever possible. Our resources highlight the stages of decision making and provide a variety of activities so that students can begin to take responsibility for their own futures when deciding on what GCSE Options to take, what Post 16 Pathway is right for them and how this all links to their Post 18 opportunities. Playing a key role on their own future can create a sense of empowerment and lead to a surge in motivation to achieve their career aspirations.
If you would like us to deliver a session on this topic, please contact your HEPA or use our booking form to arrange.
