Schools Liaison
Our Schools Liaison Coordinator helps young people get the advice and support they need to make informed choices, and can offer the following services:
- Presentations and seminars for pupils about what the college can offer – for instance the courses we run, the additional support available, sports and activities, our facilities and the application process.
- Taster Days – either at college or at school. This gives pupils the opportunity to try out various subjects in interactive and practical sessions with our tutors
- Campus and facilities tours for students and teachers
In addition, the Coordinator can attend careers fairs and other events to talk informally to students and parents to provide them with more information about the college and the courses on offer.
To find out more, or to arrange a Taster Day or attendance at a careers event, call Marea Brown on 01235 216 301.
