In-school activities

Our inspiring and informative free in-school activities have been designed to fit easily into an assembly, tutor time or class session to give students an insight into the opportunities that are out there when planning their next steps.

Our Outreach team can travel to your school or college to deliver these sessions in-person, or via an interactive virtual session, or they could be combined with a visit to our campus.

Presentations and workshops

We have a range of presentation topics which can be tailored to your specific requirements.
