The wait is nearly over for thousands of young people across Solihull and Birmingham, and most will have the same question needing an answer: what next? To provide some much-needed guidance, Solihull College is holding two events during August: the Higher Education Advice Day on Tuesday 19 August and the School Leaver Advice Day on Tuesday 26 August.
Both events will provide information and advice for post-16 learners, post-18 learners and adult learners. Experienced staff from subject areas including Hair and Beauty, Animal Care, Construction and Engineering, Health and Social Care, and Public Services will be on hand to explain which courses, levels and progression routes are available.
Solihull College offers a strong range of courses for both further and higher education. The University Centre opened the previous summer and is one of the first to be established by an FE college in the Midlands.
The College maintains strong links with some of the best universities in the country, such as Oxford Brookes University and the University of Warwick, to help ensure students achieve their potential in higher education. For learners who do not have the qualifications required to access higher education, Solihull College can help them gain the necessary qualifications.
Sue McGregor, Director of Curriculum at the College, comments: “Progressing in education can be confusing. Important decisions can be overwhelming and students may be left unsure about their next steps. These Advice Days are perfect for students to raise any queries they may have and discover the different options available to them. We look forward to welcoming a wide range of future learners during these events.”
The Higher Education Advice Day will be held on Tuesday 19 August, from 2pm to 6pm, at the Blossomfield Campus.
The School Leaver Advice Day will be held on Tuesday 26 August, from 2pm to 6pm, at both the Blossomfield and Woodlands campuses.
