Your future. SORTED! School Support Programme

Good News: Your future. SORTED! Continues and Expands

The Dorset and Somerset Training Provider Network (DSTPN), who proudly delivered the ASK programme locally for the past five years, will be delivering a school support programme across Dorset and Somerset. This allows us to continue providing impartial careers guidance to schools and educational establishments on apprenticeships and technical education.

We will be expanding our existing “Your future. SORTED!” resource to include a dedicated awareness-raising and support programme. This will be facilitated by our experienced Apprenticeship and Skills Advisers: Nikki, Joanne, and Marie

This includes Apprenticeships, T-Levels, Internships, SEND progression opportunities, and details of local training providers.
