Learning Points: It’s okay for a sixth-year not to know their future

We are now five weeks into the school year and filling out their CAO form to decide their future is becoming a reality for sixth-year students.

In my work, I often meet young adults, their head down, anxiously describing how they don’t know what they want to do after school. Perhaps we put too much pressure on teenagers, but working towards a desired outcome and achieving that builds self-esteem and confidence.
