For many, it's a great feeling knowing that your schooldays are behind you - no more having to wear school uniform or being subjected to spending hours on homework pouring over quadratic equations.

By the time you head out of the school gates for the last time, a great many school leavers will have already given serious consideration as to what paths they will follow whether it's heading back into further education at college or sixth form with a view to going on to university, straight into the world of work or possibly taking up an apprenticeship. For those looking to head straight into work or taking an apprenticeship there are undoubtedly many options available as the many different sectors compete to raise your interest in their sectors.

The Sport and Active Leisure sector is certainly one to give serious consideration to, as one of the UK's undoubted growth areas. For school leavers we can offer many great opportunities at getting your career off on the right foot. One particular route is through taking an apprenticeship scheme where you benefit from pay whilst being trained at the same time.
