Careers

Our Careers Service aims to give you the necessary skills to enhance your chances of employability in today's competitive market. Our Careers Officer can provide you with one-to-one guidance interviews, a drop-in service and careers-based workshops.

According to a National Union of Students (NUS) survey the majority of students, a staggering 78%, choose to work while studying. Although working as a student can be incredibly useful and help you have some money to subsidise your travel and living costs, in a climate that is becoming more and more competitive it can also be vital to get some valuable experience under your belt.

As a student, the College can assist you in finding and preparing for employment, offering top tips on interviews, CV writing, employment with training, voluntary work as well as listing many opportunities with local and National employers.

We run a number of workshops throughout the year that give you the chance to hear from a range of guest speakers and employers.

Are you thinking about the future?

We’re dedicated to providing all students with comprehensive advice, guidance, and careers education that will help you work out what to do next. Throughout your time at College a dedicated team of Careers and Connexions staff will make sure that in your tutorials you receive advice about the range of opportunities that you have when you complete your studies with us.

If you are considering progressing to our own HE courses or to other colleges and universities, you can access loads of helpful information from our Careers library. Additionally, our Careers and Connexions Advisers will:

  • Assist you with the UCAS application process
  • Provide information about funding, including student loans, grants, bursaries additional funding for students with disabilities

We work in partnership with Connexions and also have our own dedicated Careers staff, so you can also book a one-to-one careers interview at any time just by visiting Learner Support Services.

It’s never too early to start thinking about the future, so as we wish you well with your studies, we’d also like to encourage you to think about where you’re going so that you can work out how to get there.
