Careers Consultant

There are a lot of interesting things happening this month. Make sure you come along to the Mech and Aero mini fair - 12th Feb (Ashby Foyer). There will be a number of local and national employers who are keen to meet you. It is a great way to develop your understanding of the variety of career opportunities available to you and get ready for placement applications for next year.

Kind regards

Patricia
