This event is organised by SWC in conjunction with local employers and is perfect for those considering a career in engineering, as it provides the opportunity to meet over thirty employers from the advanced manufacturing and engineering industry, all of whom are actively recruiting for a wide range of jobs.
At South West College we pride ourselves on student focus, superb facilities, industry engagement and accessibility for all. For a long time, university was considered the only option for undergraduate or Higher Education study, but in recent years, many students have chosen to a University equivalent course at Further Education Colleges like SWC.
At South West College we know that education is a lifelong pursuit and that no two educational journeys are the same. As such, we are proud that all our courses and opportunities are available and suitable to adult learners of any age and can be made to suit your lifestyle and work-life commitments.
Leaving school is a momentous moment in anyone’s educational journey. Often it means decision time, and no more than ever students receiving GCSE or A Level results have an abundance of options to choose from.
An apprenticeship can give you the training and qualifications you need to help you get ahead in your chosen career.
Our prospectuses will give you a detailed overview of the courses we offer and the support services that supplement them. If you prefer to read through a paper prospectus you can pick one up at your nearest campus.
