Furness College Careers Fair

Tuesday 14th February
College students – 12.30pm-3.30pm
Year 10 & Year 11 students – 4pm-5.30pm

Sectors attending will include healthcare, childcare and education, nuclear, engineering, construction, tourism, retail, business and hospitality as well as training providers.

Confirmed employers include Orsted, James Fisher and Sons, Athena, Kimberly-Clark, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay and Risedale Homes.

Organiser Sarah Carter, who is Student Services Manager and Careers Leader at Furness College, said the college had chosen Valentine’s Day with a theme of #embraceyourcareer.

“Our advice to young people starting out on their career path is to choose something that they love and are passionate about.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for our students and pupils in Year 10 and 11 to come along and speak to businesses about job opportunities and routes into employment.

“There will be lots of organisations – ranging from universities to global companies – who are all interested to speak to young people as they seek to embark on the next stage of their education and exciting careers with good prospects.”

“We will also have college staff on hand to answer questions about courses and pathways into dream careers.”
