College opens its doors to specialist training centres
Students of all ages wanting to find out what engineering, aerospace, automotive and construction courses and careers are on offer get the chance to talk to experts and find out for themselves as Exeter College opens the doors of its dedicated Technology Centre and Construction Training Centre on February 5th 5pm – 8pm.
The brand new Technology Centre at Monkerton and the recently extended Construction Training Centre at Sowton are opening for a dedicated public event designed to showcase the industry-standard training facilities as well as ensuring that students and the general public can ask about the full range of full time and part time courses the college now offers.
“We have a programme of Open Events throughout the autumn and spring term at our City Centre sites”, said Iain Hatt, Assistant Principal “but this year we realised that people wanted to see for themselves the fantastic facilities in these specialist centres. We’ve put on this additional open event just for our engineering, aerospace, automotive and construction courses in response to the demand from school leavers thinking of an apprenticeship or full time courses as well as adult learners thinking of a higher education course in these sectors or part time courses. The event is an excellent opportunity for potential students and their families to meet the staff at the Technology and Construction Centres and to talk to experts about funding, travel and the wide range of student support. We’re keen to give students the chance to talk to lecturers on a 1:1 basis to find out more about what they can expect from their chosen course”
The event will give visitor's a tour of the various workshops, lecturer rooms, learning centres and social spaces with plenty of opportunities to quiz the lecturers, tutors, welfare and college advisers about how the college’s courses link to industry and career opportunities.
