Results Day: The Alternative Careers Advisor

Explore New Paths Beyond Traditional Education

Planning to go off to university or college is a great achievement. We’re proud of everyone who’s excelled in their exams and is embarking on the path of higher education. However, pursuing a degree is not the only path to success—it’s important to explore all your options. With the right guidance, you can choose a route that best fits your aspirations.

For those awaiting GCSEs, A-Levels, or looking to step onto the career ladder, our alternative careers advisor is here to help. Whatever happens on results day, Vinspired offers diverse opportunities to help you thrive.

Consider Alternatives to University

While student debt can seem daunting, it becomes manageable once you start earning. But it’s only worth it if a degree aligns with your career goals. Otherwise, gaining hands-on experience may serve you better.

Temping agencies can be a starting point, but their options may be limited. Vinspired volunteer Kimberley found success with Task Squad, gaining skills in event logistics and book promotion. She says, “Task Squad provided me with relevant experience for my future goals.”

Volunteer Your Way into a Career

Unsure about your career path? Volunteering can be a perfect opportunity to explore different industries and develop new skills. Whether it’s events, sports, media, wildlife, or business, there’s something for everyone.

Start Your Own Business

As part of the Beta Generation, a degree is no longer the sole path to success. Many now aspire to entrepreneurship. This is where our Cashpoint team can help. If your idea benefits the community, you could receive funding to bring it to life.

Dropped Out? It’s Not the End

If university wasn’t for you, remember it’s not the end. With resilience and determination, you can find a path that suits you. Vinspired is here to support you, whether through volunteering or entrepreneurship programs.

Whatever results day brings, remember that going your own way is always an option. Explore our Cashpoint scheme to kickstart your journey.
