Year 2 Richard Huish College students interested in work-based progression after college had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a ‘Key to Careers’ event. 
Run by Alexandra Knowles and Ben Dowling from Unloc, an education non-profit that helps schools and colleges to empower young people, the half-day conference at Huish included two workshops – one on careers of the future and the changing labour market, which offered useful information on career planning, and the other on apprenticeships – including where to find them and how to apply.
A free networking lunch also gave students the chance to speak to staff and seek careers advice more informally.
Huish celebrates the diversity of student’s destinations after college, whether that’s employment, a gap year, apprenticeships or university. Find out more about post-college progression support via their Careers and Progression page.
