East Riding College is opening its doors to residents and prospective students next month with a range of classes and activities taking place during its latest open events.
The Beverley and Bridlington campuses will be alive with students and staff, with a number of classes taking place and students working in areas such as the hair and beauty salons, kitchens and construction and engineering workshops.
Visitors will be able to tour the campuses, meet and talk to existing students about their experiences at the College, and check out student work, including that done by students on less practical courses, such as business, IT and various A-levels.
There will also be activities and information related to child care, creative arts and media, health and social care, humanities, foundation programmes, languages, literacy and numeracy, music, public services, sport and recreation and travel and tourism.
Staff will be on hand to discuss full and part-time further education courses and apprenticeships, and there will be a dedicated advice and guidance room for those interested in doing degrees, HNCs, teacher training and other higher education courses.
Principal Derek Branton said:
“We are aiming to give visitors a taste of what life is like at East Riding College with our May open events while at the same time enabling prospective students to get detailed advice from tutors and guidance officers.”
“This is an opportunity to look at our excellent learning facilities, which include the latest in IT equipment and industry standard workshops and salons, and to see our students at work.”
The open events will be held as follows:
• Saturday, May 12, 9.30am to noon, Gallows Lane, Beverley
• Saturday, May 12, 9.30am to noon, St James Street, Hull, for music courses only
