QAC 'Life after College' Transition Event

QAC hosted a 'Life after College' Transition Event event for all current students and their parents/carers on Tuesday 31st October.

The event enabled our students to explore the range of opportunities available beyond QAC, and gain information and advice to support their next steps. Providers in attendance included further and higher education, training, employment, supported living, and social care services.

Over 65 students and their families visited throughout the morning to meet with the 30 exhibitors in attendance. We are extremely grateful to all the providers for taking time out of their busy schedules to support the event and talk with our students. 

A big thank you to all the providers for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend and meet with our students.
