Our Careers Service aims to give you the necessary skills to enhance your chances of employment 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 to
subsidise your travel and living costs; in a climate that is becoming more and more competitive it can
also be vital to get valuable experience under your belt.
As a student, the College can assist you in preparing for employment. We offer a range of services,
including top tips on interviews, CV writing, employment with training and/or voluntary work, as well
as listing job opportunities with local and national employers.
In addition, we run a number of careers workshops throughout the year, giving you the chance to hear from
and speak to 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 during your tutorials that you receive advice about the range of
opportunities available to you once you complete your studies with us.
If you are considering progressing to one of our higher education courses or to other colleges and
universities, you can access a lot of helpful information from our Careers library. In addition, our
Careers and Connexions Advisors will:
- Assist you with the UCAS application process
- Provide information about funding; including student loans, grants, bursaries and 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 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.
