Health and Social Care students attend careers event at Olympia

Students from Health and Social Care and Applied Psychology courses visit London Olympia for an informative and engaging careers exhibition.

Capital City College (CCC) students from Health and Social Care courses attended the What University Live? and What Career Live? exhibition event at London Olympia on 11 November. The careers and education event is aimed at 15-19 year olds and welcomes the UK’s top employers and universities to share information about their organisations with young people looking to take their next steps.

The visit to the careers and education event was organised by Health and Social Care teachers Lorraine Neil and Wendy Yarde. While at the event, the group of first-year Health and Social Care and Applied Psychology students were able to broaden their knowledge of universities and explore a range of career opportunities.

During the event, the students were able to talk to representatives from a range of universities to find out more about the courses on offer. The event also enabled them to engage with representatives from professional organisations and companies to discuss internship, apprenticeships and work opportunities. The students came away from the event with a wide range of resources relating to various degrees and apprenticeship courses

Felicity Watt, Curriculum Manager for Health Sciences said: “Students had a fun and informative morning in which they were able to talk to universities, apprenticeship providers and employers. Students reported feeling more informed on future study and employability.”
