South Bank Colleges recently hosted a Post College Opportunities Fair, giving learners the opportunity to explore a range of options for life after college.

The event brought together universities, training providers and apprenticeship organisations, giving learners the chance to speak directly with different organisations and find out more about the opportunities available to them.

Exploring different pathways

For many learners, deciding what to do after college can feel like a big decision. The fair provided an opportunity to explore different routes in one place, from progressing to university and applying for an apprenticeship to continuing into further training.

Learners could ask questions, find out about entry requirements and discover more about the skills and qualifications needed for different pathways.

The event also highlighted that there is no single route to a successful career. Different learners may have different goals, interests and ambitions, and having access to a range of information can help them make informed decisions about their next steps.

Supporting learners beyond college

Careers guidance is an important part of the learner experience at South Bank Colleges, helping students understand the opportunities available to them and prepare for life after college.

The Post College Opportunities Fair was another way for learners to connect with organisations and gain a better understanding of what their future could look like.

With opportunities across higher education, apprenticeships, training and other progression routes, the event helped learners take another step towards planning their future.
