Transitions Toolkit

We know a smooth transition sets students up for success.

This resource is designed for care experienced learners at school, as well as anyone who is a part of their support network. It focusses on important aspects to consider when looking at college, university, or employment. It is relevant for any care experienced young person who is transitioning from:

• S4 into a College Course (either a January or August start)
• S5 into a College Course or University
• S6 into a College Course or University

Work through this toolkit before leaving high school with an adult such as a teacher, carer, parent or social worker. It’s never too early to think about next steps; you can use this toolkit even if you don’t know what you would like to do after school.

The toolkit is interactive; there are hyperlinks embedded and underlined throughout with additional information. This is a live toolkit, meaning information will be updated regularly.
