Apprentice infoatopen evenings

Two open evening events promoting courses and apprenticeship opportunities available at Forth Valley College will be held at the end of this month.

Representatives from the college’s teaching departments and business development team will be on hand at the Stirling Campus on Wednesday March 30 from 4.30-7.30pm and the Falkirk Campus on Thursday March 31 from 4.30-7.30pm.

They will be offering advice and guidance on the wide range of courses available including full-time courses, Partnership Degrees with Scotland’s leading universities, Modern Apprenticeships, Foundation Apprenticeships, evening courses, business training courses and flexible learning programmes.

FVC will also have a number of local employers at the Falkirk Campus event with live apprenticeship opportunities available. Tours of the science labs will also be taking place at the Falkirk Campus event at 5pm, 5.30pm, 6pm, 6.30pm and 7pm.

In addition, support teams will be available to offer careers advice and answer questions on funding, learning support and applying to college.

The open evenings also serve as an opportunity to get a look around FVC’s buildings and meet the college teams face to face who can help potential students make an informed decision about which course is right for them.

FVC principal Dr Ken Thomson said: “Our open evenings offer a fantastic opportunity for people to come along and find out about the different options available to them – whether they’re interested in a mainstream course, finding out about Modern Apprenticeship vacancies currently on offer, thinking about studying for a Foundation Apprenticeship while still at school or pursuing a degree.

“These events are also really useful if you’re considering applying to college but have questions surrounding student finance or the application process for example – and they’re also an excellent opportunity to find out what qualifications employers are looking for.”
