18, and the next step feels bigger than ever.
Uni, apprenticeships, work, travelling, volunteering, or something else altogether — the choices can feel overwhelming. 18 and Stuck? is built for exactly this decision point.
Done with sixth form. Not sure “the plan” is actually your plan?
Maybe you’re like Luci — finished sixth form, probably done well, but not sure the path everyone assumed you’d take is the one you actually want.
Whatever your results turn out to be, you have options — and you can start figuring them out with something small right now:
Supporting a decision that’s bigger than it looks.
As your child steps out of the classroom for the last time at this stage, it’s easy for the whole household to feel the weight of the choices ahead. Students right now are also dealing with pressures many of us didn’t face growing up — from social media comparison to a tougher job market — and if your child has additional needs, like neurodiversity or anxiety, that adds another layer.
18 and Stuck? is designed to support conversation at home without you needing to have all the answers yourself.
A 30-minute Parent Consultation can give you clarity and practical advice tailored to your specific situation, so you know how best to help without adding pressure.
Practical careers support for Year 13s and college students.
18 and Stuck? is aimed at 16-18 year-olds weighing up further study, apprenticeships, travel, volunteering, or starting a career. Used alongside a careers programme, it helps students reflect on strengths, explore real options beyond exam results, and build confidence in decision-making — mapping onto the same national frameworks as the 16 and Stuck? resource.
Interactive talks and workshops are also available — particularly on careers mindset and using LinkedIn effectively — which work well as pre-work, follow-up, or wider programme resources alongside the books. These have been delivered at sixth form colleges as part of open days, alumni events, and subject-specific study programmes.
