Students have been turning their attention to future opportunities as Stockton Riverside College and SRC Bede Sixth Form play their part in National Careers Week.



Learners were given the chance to chat with representatives from universities, careers agencies, service industries and employers during a careers fair at SRC Bede in Billingham.

"The aim of the event was to give our students the opportunity to explore their next steps,” said SRC Bede's Careers Co-ordinator, Alice Atkinson. “We had around 300 students attend and it has helped them to consider their options after college."



While over at the Stockton Riverside College Teesdale site a careers stand has been set up all week for students to chat to Careers Advisor Carol Race for advice and information.

National Careers Week is a celebration of careers guidance and free resources in education available across the UK. The aim is to help encourage, inspire and inform young people in education by bringing together students, local employers and careers advisers.
