On Friday 28th February, the College hosted their Annual Careers Fair in the Butler Hall.

We are extremely grateful to our parents, alumni and local employers who all gave up their time and resources to support us at this event, some coming a long way to exhibit.

During the afternoon, students asked some good questions, highlighting their innate inquisitiveness and thirst for finding out more about possible career next steps.

Exhibitors shared expert knowledge and advice, and it was great to see so many of our students making the most of this career opportunity.  A brochure was also created for the students to assist them around the event; it included a floorplan, possible questions to ask and how to set up a LinkedIn profile.

Exhibitors handed out leaflets and other marketing material which will allow the students a chance to reflect on their conversations at another time.
