WITH young people across Northern Ireland waiting for A-level and GCSE results, South Eastern Regional College (SERC) continues to offer free, impartial, and tailored careers advice in the run-up to result days.
Shirley Moore, Senior Careers Officer at SERC, says: “The SERC’s careers service is here to help with those vital next steps school leavers and their parents will want to consider. Our team offers professional, impartial careers advice and guidance and is available to prospective SERC students and parents, as well as everyone living in the local community.”
For those students who are looking at their options, and thinking of coming to SERC, you can book a 30-minute appointment on August 15-17, 9.30am-4pm or on August 22-24, 9.30am-4pm.
Book by emailing careers@serc.ac.uk and letting SERC know your nearest campus. Alternatively, you can complete a careers enquiry at www.serc.ac.uk/support/careers-service
The team will be on campus on A-level results day, August 18, and the following day, and on August 25-26 as students plan next steps after GCSE results. These sessions are on a drop-in basis, first come, first served.
Shirley concludes: “Deciding on the next step after leaving school can be a daunting and anxious time and young people and their parents may not know about all the courses or learning opportunities available. Whether or not you get the grades you’re expecting, it’s important to make informed choices.
“Our team of careers advisors can talk young people through their individual situation and help them to see for themselves what options are available to them, not only at SERC but also further afield.”
