Choosing the right course FOR YOU is the most important step towards success and a rewarding career.
There are many ways of learning and paths to a great career. The BEST way is the one that is RIGHT for you. If the right course is not provided by the TVC go back to your careers advisor at school/community college or Connexions and get more advice. Some useful information for Plymouth students can be found on the web site http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/homepage/ypmix/
It is a good idea to start working on a career plan. Where do you want to go and what ways are there to get there?
TVC Programmes are only available to full time students of TVC partner schools and colleges. They must be aged between 14 and 19 when they begin the course. If you are not attending a partner school or community college please talk to your Connexions advisor.
Key Stage 4 students (Years 10 and 11) will be recommended by their Head of Year or TVC Co-ordinator. Not all students in Key Stage 4 will be eligible but interested students should talk to their Head of Year or their tutor at KS4 Options Evenings.
Students who are 16 or over must apply to the sixth form of a partner school or college. On the application form choose a TVC course that interests you. You will be invited for interview and this will give you a chance to talk about the TVC courses and get up-to-date advice. It can be arranged for you to visit courses that interest you.
The TVC Trainers' Fair takes place in January each year in Plymouth City Guildhall from 10.00 am to 3.00pm.. This will allow you to meet the Training Providers and see the wide range of opportunities. Below young people from TVC partner schools can be seen engaging with the Beauty Therapy stalls at the 2005 event.
