If you're thinking of turning your fishkeeping hobby into a career, why not visit Sparsholt College's open evening on Thursday, June 28?
It's the last course information open event for this academic year and the College will be open on June 28 2012 from 4-7pm with staff available to provide informal guidance regarding courses and apprenticeships, finance and bursaries, accommodation, transport and careers advice. Current students will also be on hand to say what life is really like at campus and provide tours of the campus.
Many students — whether they are completing their GCSEs, thinking about degree courses or looking to change careers — are keen to follow a path that will take them directly into an industry they are passionate about. The vocational nature of the offered at Sparsholt College helps students achieve this.
