Exam Results - What Next?

Results time has once again arrived, bringing with it excitement and disappointment to many young people in Northern Ireland.

For those who have achieved the results they anticipated the next number of weeks will be spent in a flurry of preparation for the next stage in their life. For many this will be university, for others it may be continuing education, seeking employment or training. For those who are uncertain at this stage it may be difficult for them to see the way ahead. This is where Careers Advisers from Careers Service Northern Ireland can help. Careers Advisers will assist young people and their parents to explore the many options open to them so that they may arrive at informed decisions about their future.

The Careers Adviser will provide free information, advice and guidance on issues such as applying to alternative courses through clearing, making the most of better than anticipated results, choosing training options, planning a gap year, looking at alternatives in the further education sector or seeking full or part time employment. Career Advisers can assist all young people irrespective of what stage they are at in their individual career planning process.
