All young people must participate in some form of education or training until they are 18. However, this does not mean they must stay at school. They could:
- participate in full-time education (known as a study programme) at a college, school or with a training provider
- take up an apprenticeship, traineeship or supported internship
- go into full-time employment or volunteering (of 20 hours or more per week) if combined with accredited part-time education or training
