Wales’ largest further education college is hosting an immersive careers expo.
Coleg Gwent’s four-day ‘Find your Future’ event at Friars Walk Shopping Centre, Newport, will provide opportunities for students, parents and anyone interested in exploring a new career path to receive practical advice and insights on the job market in South Wales. The event will be held from 10am-5pm on 10-13 June.
The free event will include sessions on everything from virtual reality spray painting to ceramics and the innovative world of 3D printing.
Coleg Gwent representatives will be on-hand to provide expert advice on student finance, application processes, enrolment, and college life, alongside information on specific courses.
Employers attending throughout the week include Aneurin Bevan Health Board, We Care Wales, Ffilm Cymru, Gwent Police and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB).
Coleg Gwent’s Deputy Principal, Nicola Gamlin, said:
“For many young people, choosing a career can be daunting — but the Find Your Future expo has been developed to provide them with the resources to kickstart their journey.
“The event offers an incredible opportunity for our current learners and potential new ones to engage directly with industry professionals — and gain valuable insights into a wide range of career paths available in and around South Wales. We are dedicated to supporting our learners across every step of their career journey, and this event reinforces that commitment.”
