I am posting on behalf of a friend's daughter, as I have absolutely no advice to give her and am beginning to clutch at straws.
She dropped out of sixth form college with about 4 btec qualifications (about b/c grade from what I understand, with the bs in science and maths), due to anxiety/depression - is very bright but didn't get on with school.
She has been working in a warehouse for a year or so, but was recently made redundant and now at 20 feels like she has missed the boat for apprenticeships etc.
I know ideally she would like a science based career but am finding it hard to advise whether she should pursue this desire or just give up and try and get any job coming.
Does anyone know whether she could still receive funding for some sort of higher qualification? Or if she has any options in terms of getting an apprenticeship? From what I've seen online they are quite competitive now
