support for people with a doesn't stop when they leave secondary school - in fact, young people with a learning disability can continue to receive support with and training up to the age of 25.

The point at which someone moves from being a child to being a 'young person' is when they have completed the academic year in which they turn 16. This is when they traditionally move from secondary education into further education.

Young people in Northern Ireland and Wales might decide to leave education at this stage, but in England they must stay in education or training until the age of 18.

Most further education takes place at colleges, training facilities or sixth form in school. There are lots courses and options available, including study programmes and tailored packages of support five days a week. Visit your Local Offer to see what options are available in your area.

The SEND system also offers support to anyone up to the age of 25 if they are still in education or training.

There are also training options available to young people with a learning disability, which can help build skills and confidence to help get a job. These options usually involve doing a course that also includes a placement in a workplace.

There are three main training options available in England for young people with a learning disability - apprenticeships, traineeships and supported internships A work placement for young people with additional needs, where they get support from a job coach. .

Apprenticeships

If a young person is over 16, they can apply for an apprenticeship. There are various levels of apprenticeship you can undertake depending on your current skills and qualifications, including:

intermediate apprenticeship

advanced apprenticeship

higher apprenticeship

degree apprenticeship.

Entry requirements differ depending on certain factors such as the apprenticeship level and the age of the apprentice.

All apprenticeships are real jobs so all apprentices earn a , at least at £3.90 per hour in the first year if the apprentice is under 19. Full details on apprenticeships' pay and conditions.

Apprentices should work for at least 30 hours per week and an apprenticeship takes between one and five years to complete, depending upon the level of apprenticeship and the industry sector.

Most of the training is delivered in the workplace and the rest of the training is given by a training , either at the workplace, off-site (perhaps at college) or via e-learning.

Learn more about apprenticeships.

Traineeships

Traineeships are education and training programmes with , designed to get young people (aged 16-24) 'work ready'.

Sometimes people take traineeships to help them get prepared for an apprenticeship.

A traineeship often provides:

a high-quality work experience placement with an employer

work preparation training, provided by the training organisation

English and maths support, if required, provided by the training organisation.

Traineeships last up to a maximum Maximum means the highest amount, or greatest value that something can be. of 6 months.

Learn more about traineeships.

Supported internships

A supported internship is a study programme for young people aged 16 to 24 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan, who want to move into employment and need extra support to do so.

They support people to move into paid employment at the end of the programme.

A Supported Internship is based primarily at an employer, with much less classroom study and less of a focus on English and maths support. Instead, it aims to equip young people with the skills they need for work, through learning in the workplace.

Supported Internships are unpaid and normally last for a minimum of 6 months.

Learn more about supported internships.
