Kate WinstanleyKate, 21, is nearing the end of a four year Advanced Apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy – something she says has been a brilliant experience.At school she enjoyed physics and decided she wanted more of a hands-on learning experience rather than going to university, so she applied for several Apprenticeships and accepted one at CCFE.As part of her training she went to Abingdon & Witney College one day a week to study for her National Vocational Qualifications and found the mix of work and study suited her perfectly. Now she is looking forward to another four to six years of part- time study to complete a degree at Oxford Brookes University.
Further full-time study

Money
Whether you are planning to stay in full-time education or go into a job, training or Apprenticeship, money is an important issue.
If you are continuing your education at school or college beyond 16 you may be eligible for:
l Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) This is £10, £20 or £30 a week paid to you during term time for up to three years so you can continue your education or training. To qualify you must live in a household where the income is less than £30,810 and be doing at least 12 hours a week at school, college or with a training provider. EMA doesn’t affect any other income or benefits you or your family are receiving.
To find out more T 0800 121 8989 or visit M www.direct.gov.uk/ema
l Discretionary Support FundsIf you are facing financial hardship, your school or college may be able to help with learning costs e.g. for materials, field trips, equipment and travel costs.
l Specialist Residential College Bursary and Residential Support SchemeIf the course you want to do isn’t available locally you may be able to get funding for your accommodation and travel costs to live away from home while you study.
l Dance and Drama AwardTo qualify for this you need to be taking a course in acting, dance, ballet, musical theatre or production skills at one of 22 private dance and drama schools.
l Care to Learn (C2L)If you’re a young parent, C2L will pay up to £160 a week for childcare so you can continue your learning or training. This doesn’t affect any other benefits you or your family are receiving.
l Child Benefit and Child Tax CreditYour parents/carers can continue to claim Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit for you if they are eligible.
To find out more about all of these go to M www.direct.gov.uk/moneytolearn or phone the Learner Support helpline on T 0800 121 8989.
If you do Foundation Learning /e2e or a Programme Led Apprenticeship (Further Education Pathway or Work-based Learning Pathway) you may be eligible for:
l Education Maintenance AllowanceSee EMA above.
l Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit See Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit above.
If you go into a job, an Employer Led Apprenticeship or Advanced Apprenticeship:
l your employer will pay you a wage. From 1 October 2010 Apprentices under 19 must be paid a minimum of £2.50 an hour but many employers pay their Apprentices much more. The minimum wage for all other young workers aged 16 or 17 is £3.64 an hour.
If your employer isn’t paying you at least the national minimum wage when they should be, then contact your local Connexions Centre or go to M www.direct.gov.uk/payandworkrights or phone T 0800 917 2368 for help and advice.
If you don’t continue your education or go into a job, training or Apprenticeship:
l it’s only in exceptional circumstances that you may be entitled to benefits such as Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance. Employment and Support Allowance can be paid if you are medically unfit for work or training.
National Insurance Number You’ll be sent a National Insurance number automatically just before your 16th birthday. It’s really important, so keep it somewhere safe. If you don’t receive one then phone T 0845 915 7006. (Tip – it will speed things up if you can tell them your Child Benefit number.)
For more advice about money use the websites, helplines and organisations listed under Money on page 8.

l You’ll get the chance to talk to your Connexions PA in a group session or individually in a guidance interview. If your plans are sorted out already you may not need to see them but if you want to talk your ideas through, don’t know what to do, or are concerned about other personal issues, then ask to see the Connexions PA.
l Your PA has a mobile phone. Ask them for the number so you can get in touch if you need help and advice.
l As well as in schools and colleges, Connexions PAs are based in Connexions Centres and outreach locations (see page 9). They are your link to a huge range of services offering help on issues that may be affecting your life from health and money to relationships and housing. So if they can’t help you themselves they will put you in touch with someone who can.
l Even when you’ve left school or college, are in a job or training, or looking for something else to do, you can still use Connexions.
Connexions Direct
l If you can’t get to the local Connexions Centre or need help straightaway, then contact Connexions Direct, the national helpline for young people.
