Want your pupils to explore the vocational opportunities available to them after school? This event considers both university and apprenticeships as next steps, with sessions focussed on making that next step, the right one.
Based at UCB, this event will highlight vocational pathways available to pupils. Sessions will explore the advantages and disadvantages of both vocational HE options and apprenticeships.
Pupils will hear from current Apprentices, exploring how their pathway differs to that of the “traditional route”. They will also speak with vocational degree students as they experience the UCB Campus, focusing on our excellent facilities for vocational courses. In addition, pupils will all undertake an assessment centre task in order to gain a greater understanding of application processes, including the increasingly common, assessment centre.
