The document discusses employment options for 16-year-olds in Britain. It states that while one can leave school at 16, full-time employment is not permitted until the last Friday in June, even if a person's 16th birthday was earlier. There are also limitations on the types of jobs allowed due to age, such as anything involving driving since the legal driving age is 17. It recommends finding a job that offers training and can lead to qualifications, as this will help career progression, and advises asking potential employers about training opportunities available. It also notes some jobs may provide time off for study or allow one to pursue an external training program.

You can leave school at 16 and get a job, but you can't work full time until the last Friday in June- even if you have turned 16 before this. There are also limitations on where you can work because of your age. For example, you won't be able to take a job which envolves driving, because you are not legally allowed to drive until you are 17. When thinking about getting a job when you leave school, you need to think about the future, not just the present. How about learning while you earn? Try to find a job which offers training even if it pays less! Getting a job with training that leads to a qualification will help you progress in your work and when the time comes to move you will have relevant experience and qualifications. When you apply for a job, make sure you ask what training or opportunities are available. You will need to find out whether it is in-house ( run by the company you are working for) or external (through a training provider, perhaps a college). If you are 16 or 17 and you do decide to take a job that isn't offering you training that leads to a qualification, you may be entitled to time off for study or training during normal working hours. If you decide you are going to look for a job at 16 when you finish Year 11, you will be entitled to receive the national minimum wage. www.connexions-direct.com (adapted) true or false?
