Thinking about your career?

6-11th March marks National Careers Week, an annual event that the college celebrates with the aim to inspire our students in their studies, and in exploring their career options.

With progression discussions taking place in March, this is the ideal time for students to consider and research their options further. Students can email futures@northamptoncollege.ac.uk for advice and guidance on their next steps. At Booth Lane students can also drop into the Futures room (E1.01) to speak to one of the team.

On Tuesday 14th March, the Futures team are hosting the college’s annual Careers Fair in the Sports Hall at Booth Lane, between 10am – 1pm. This event is an opportunity for you to engage with a range of employers, training providers and HE providers, which has proven to be extremely beneficial to students in the past as they began to plan their next steps after college.

The following tools can also support students:
