Targeted Information, Advice, and Guidance (TIAG)

If you have an EHCP, you'll get a TIAG personal advisor, who will help you from year 9 until you no longer have an EHCP. They will talk to you about what you want to do when you leave school, whether that is going to college, finding an apprenticeship and generally helping you make the right choices.
