Helping DS find a career path

Hi, I'm looking for some ideas of ways I can help my eldest DS. He completed a degree last year and came out with a 2:2 in History, he had to work extremely hard to get where he has as he has always struggled with dyspraxia. He wanted to go into teaching and got on to a PGCE course but unfortunately had to give this up (the only thing he has ever quit at) as the paperwork and organisational side of it was just too much, he did love working with the children though. He now works at a Children's entertainment venue and also volunteers one day a week at a school. Unfortunately he has no idea what to do next, he is thinking of becoming a teaching assistant but doesn't know where to get the qualifications needed, the local colleges don't seem to do courses and he doesn't want to do the wrong one and waste his money. His passion is music and film and he is quite nerdy about both. He is great at talking to people but could never work in an office job as he doesn't have the organisational capability and because of his dyspraxia he is also not good with his hands at manual labour type stuff. Does anyone have any ideas as to courses or careers he may be able to research or look into as I am at a total loss. He is a very hard worker, never late and great with people. Grateful for any suggestions

@jvent
I've seen quite a few teaching assistant apprenticeships on the government apprenticeship website.
