Good afternoon Molly
Great question first an foremost
you can gain many qualifications while in a light infantry role but all i can say is that if you want a trade and feel that is want you want to get out of the army then i would look into other job roles that might suit.
please don't let this put you off joining the infantry like i said there are jobs in the infantry that we do that can get you jobs in civilian street

Molly,
There are plenty of qualifications available to infantry. I joined with nothing and i have gained so many qualifications . Most of which are civilian transferable.
As mentioned above, don’t let this put you off joining if that’s what your passionate about joining.
