If you want to go straight into work, it's best to try and get a job with training. This is because employers are looking more and more to employ people with higher skills and qualifications.
If you're ready to leave school and maybe do something a bit more practical but don't want to go straight into work, an Apprenticeship might be the right thing for you.
You could study for a work-based qualification, like an NVQ, which is assessed by carrying out tasks in a work environment.
