Education exhibition at Uni

Young people can find out more about careers, college and university at a Higher Education Exhibition in Forth Valley on Thursday August 31.

The event, organised by Skills Development Scotland (SDS) and UCAS, takes place at The Atrium, University of Stirling.

It brings together representatives from 27 Higher and Further Education institutions in Scotland and elsewhere.

They will be on hand to offer local young people advice as well as information on courses and traditional and alternative routes into learning. There will also be seminars on the application procedure, personal statements and student finance.

SDS Careers Adviser Aileen Crawford said: “Deciding which course, university, college, or career to choose is one of the most important decisions people make. By having all the information and experts in one place, the Exhibition offers young people and their parents to help them make that vital decision.

“We know many fifth and sixth year pupils will be coming along, but would also like to welcome anyone interested in finding out about Higher Education, including parents, carers and college students.”

SDS careers advisers will be at the free event to give impartial, one-to-one advice on options and opportunities including employer, training, Modern, Foundation and Graduate Level apprenticeships and volunteering.

The exhibition runs from 9.30am until 12.30pm and 1pm until 3pm. For more visit www.myworldofwork.co.uk/heexhibitions or email: aileen.crawford@sds.co.uk.
