Visiting Institutions 

We are lucky enough to have a range of visitors coming in this term who are able to help students in a number of pathway areas. Make sure you come along to those that you are considering, even if you are not leaving school this year. It is always good to have an understanding about what requirements there are to entering different courses, and what the different options are for entering such pathways. Many of these visitors can also help to find jobs and/or apprenticeships and give you helpful advice on how to go about securing work for yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to touch base. Those who are visiting are:

• MITO (Automotive Apprenticeships) – Thursday 27th May 1.30-2.00pm; Williams Room
• Police Force – Thursday 10th June 1.30-2.00pm; Williams Room
• BCITO (Building and Construction Apprenticeships) – Thursday 17th June 1.30-2.00pm; Williams Room
