Colleges Week celebrations at West Cheshire College

Nov 7 2008 From West Cheshire College

Exploring a world of opportunities

THE door to a world of new learning opportunities is set to be opened to young people and adults in the region at West Cheshire College’s annual Careers Open Evening.

Ellesmere Port Civic Hall is the venue for this major event which is designed to help guide visitors through the vast range of learning and career options available to them, to help them make the best choices for their futures.

The event takes place on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 from 4pm to 8pm.

Principal Sara Mogel will also be launching the 14 - 19 Learning Opportunities 2009/10 prospectus which provides details of the opportunities on offer including full-time courses and Apprenticeship programmes.
