Welcome to our activities and events guide!
We know that thinking about life beyond school or college can be difficult for your pupils, and we want to help equip them with information about all their options and empower them to make the right decision about their future.
Working with schools and sixth forms across South Wales, our dedicated team support teachers, educators and careers advisors like you in delivering the most useful and relevant information to students from Year 7 through to Year 13 about all their options after exams.
This handy guide provides an overview of activities your pupils can participate in, including a range of workshops, presentations, talks and bespoke sessions delivered by our team of experts.
