The DfEE has recently launched a new website area designed to provide 16+ year olds with information and advice about the options open to them on leaving school.

With plenty of colour and pzazz, the site is obviously designed to be attractive to young browsers. The central message encourages all young people to engage in some form of continuing learning - but also suggests there are a wide range of ways of doing this. There's also information about funding, disabilities, and a range of related matters.

Well worth pointing out to people starting on the jobs, careers and colleges ladder.
