Devon’s SEND Local Offer
Education, training and employment
When you have decided on a career path, you may need to look at education and training courses that will support you in achieving it.
All young people need to stay in education or training until they are 18. From year 9, schools must help young people to identify the things they are interested in learning about in order to provide them with opportunities for the future.
Our vocational profile can help you plan what work you would like to do in the future.
