A visit to SERC's open evening in Lisburn is a great first step to a dream career
If you’re planning your next move after GCSEs or A-Levels, or looking to make a fresh start by returning to education, a visit to South Eastern Regional College’s (SERC’s) full-time open evening on Thursday, March 5 will give you a glimpse of the real learning for real life on offer at the college.
SERC delivers courses at all levels up to university degree, including apprenticeships, higher-level apprenticeships and traineeships and the college’s vocational courses reflect the Department for the Economy’s vision for Northern Ireland.
Potential students are invited to go along to the open evening and chat to tutors at SERC Lisburn campus and discover how you can become part of that vision, by gaining the skills sought by employers across a wide range of sectors.
After researching online and attending a SERC open evening, Cady McFarlane from Dromore decided an engineering apprenticeship at SERC Lisburn campus would be her next step.
"I really like going to work as an apprentice – I enjoy it even more than I thought I would,”Cady said.
"I like being able to go out and work most of the week and then come into SERC once a week to help get my qualifications, which will help me further myself in my work.”
The SERC Lisburn campus open evening will be held between 4pm and 7pm with a warm invitation to potential students to see how they can achieve the skills they need to get on the path to their dream career.
Full-time courses are now open for applications. Go to the SERC website – www.serc.ac.uk – to find out more and register your interest in attending the open evening.
