Teenagers aged between 14 and 19 are invited to a careers event in West Bromwich. The Connexions New Year, New Start event is at Sandwell College's Central Sixth campus in New Street between 10am and 2pm on Saturday 21 January. It’s a chance for young people to discuss what they want to do after school or college. Around 45 colleges, universities, apprenticeship and training providers, employers and professions including law and accountancy will be there.
Sandwell Connexions careers advisers will also be on hand to give impartial careers information, advice and guidance so young people can discuss their options in detail.
Visitors will also have the chance to win one of two fantastic Microsoft Surface 3 64GB tablets donated by the college.
Councillor Simon Hackett, Sandwell Council’s cabinet member for children’s services, said: "It’s incredibly important young people get the best advice to get their careers off to a good start. This will be a really helpful event for anyone who needs a little advice working out what they want to do with their future.
“Last year’s event attracted more than 1,000 people – so please come along and get some advice that could give you a new start for the New Year.”
Parents are welcome to go along.
