Last week over fifteen hundred students attended the annual careers convention at Colchester Sixth Form College.
The event was a great success, as Head of Careers Anne Johnson explained: “ We had over fifty organisations attend, including everyone from local solicitors to The University of Aberystwyth – so they genuinely came from far and wide. Other exhibitors included the armed forces, a range of employers, Universities and local training providers. This event is nearly ten years old and gets bigger by the year - It was very pleasing to see so many students attend.
The college sports hall is big, but there was still a very busy feel to the event all morning. I’d like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this event a success”
College Principal Ian MacNaughton said: “Events such as these are always important, but especially so in such a difficult economic climate. It’s pleasing to hear from many of our visitors that the students have approached this event in such an active and well-informed fashion. It’s a credit to the work that Anne and her team do with the students.”
