Careers Fair – Wednesday, 20th March
Careers Fair – Wednesday 20th March 5.30-7.30pm.
The event promises to be an interesting and informative evening with representatives from universities, further education colleges and many other diverse careers present. We are confident that pupils considering course options and university/college applications will benefit from attending this event.
On the evening there will be stands for each of the represented organisations, where pupils and parents will be able to collect information and ask questions. There will also be an area designated Real People, Real Jobs, at which parent volunteers and others will answer questions about their own jobs.
Most of the exhibitors will be located in Grahamston and Ralston. Pupils and parents may also seek advice from Skills Development Scoland (formerly Careers Scotland) staff in the Community Wing, where a range of interactive careers material will be available to view.
Refreshments and Easter gifts will also be available on the evening organised by pupils who are busy fundraising at present towards the cost of the school trip to London.
We look forward to meeting you on the evening.
