A weekend event is coming to West Nottinghamshire College to give school-leavers a chance to find out more about life and studies at the college.

On Saturday 2 October, the open event, which runs from 10am to 1pm at the Derby Road campus in Mansfield, will enable visitors to speak to tutors from all curriculum areas including sport, music, health and social care, hairdressing, catering, childcare, business and more.

Those who are looking to study at the college after school can learn more about life at college, the kind of experience they will get in a college classroom, and discover the extra-curricular activities open to them once they become a student.

Student support teams such as financial support and additional learning support will be available to advise individuals on the help they can offer to students whilst at the college.

Additionally the careers team and apprenticeship team will be available for potential new students and their parents to speak to, to help them to decide which career path they might wish to choose.

The event is aimed at people aged between 16 and 19, and friends and parents can come along too and see the college facilities.
