The event gave students the opportunity to speak directly with a fantastic range of colleges, sixth forms, universities, training providers and other organisations. Students were able to explore future pathways, qualifications, careers and training opportunities, helping them to make informed decisions about their next steps. It was great to see students asking questions, gathering information and considering the different routes available to them after leaving school. We would like to say a huge thank you to all the organisations and representatives who gave their time to support our students: Accrington & Rossendale College and Nelson & Colne College (East Lancashire Learning Group) Ada, the National College for Digital Skills Bolton College Burnley College Bury College Canon Slade Elevate Training & Education Centre Football Futures / Access Sport / Bury FC Holy Cross College and University Centre Hopwood Hall College Keele University LIPA Sixth Form College Myerscough College & University Centre Radcliffe FC Academy Rochdale Sixth Form College Salford City College Group The Manchester College Mploy Solutions A special thank you also goes to all the individual representatives, including former students who returned to share their experiences, helping our students understand the exciting opportunities available beyond Year 11, plus Lynda Thompson who helped support on the day.
