UCAS has launched UCAS Progress, a service enabling GCSE students to search and apply for post-16 work and education-based training courses - including academic and vocational courses (such as A levels and BTECs), as well as Apprenticeship and Traineeship programmes.
UCAS Progress also helps schools, colleges, and local authorities address recruitment issues and statutory obligations resulting from raising the age of participation in secondary education; an initiative which legally obliges students to remain in full-time education or work-based training until the end of the academic year that they turn 17.
