Supporting Young People
At Yeovil College our vision is to maximise potential for all; no matter where a student has started on their journey – this is our promise to you. We will give your young person the opportunity to learn the right skills, knowledge, experience and know-how to set them up for a successful future, whether the goal is an apprenticeship, a degree or a career.
We have a variety of resources available to help parents, carers and guardians. These resources have been curated specifically to help you to support your young person.
The Parent Perspective
This is The Parent Perspective, a podcast created by Amazing Apprenticeships & Not Going To Uni, hosted by BBC presenter Rachel Burden, and designed to help parents and carers support their children in making more informed career decisions.
