Enrich your curriculum with career-focused experiences at Newbury College.

Newbury College is the leading provider of vocational education for young people in West Berkshire. Vocational education is perfect for school leavers who want a more hands-on approach than the traditional academic route and we are working with local secondary schools to provide opportunities for KS4 pupils to explore future careers. 

  • Promotional Materials and Resources

  • Careers Events

    Each year we work with local employers and education providers to host numerous career-focus events that showcase the wide range of post-16 opportunities that are available for young people. Our Career Discovery Events take Open Days to the next level, with local employers taking centre stage to offer advice and guidance on the careers in their industries. School groups are actively encouraged to visit, however, many of these events take place in the evening, so we are happy to provide promotional material that can be sent out to parents.

  • Workshops

    Engaging workshops can all be arranged to engage pupils and support their career aspirations. We will work with you to identify the areas that students are interested in and, where possible, map activities to their learning objectives and progression goals. Workshops can be delivered on-site or via Microsoft Teams. Topics include:

    T Levels - The next level qualifications

    Year 10 and 11

    Help pupils understand T Levels with informative sessions that explain the structure and positioning of the next level qualifications. They will explore the potential career pathways available, discover how industry placement works and how to access vocational higher education opportunities. 

    UCN Masterclasses

    Year 12 and 13

    University Centre Newbury is providing opportunities for people to achieve their degree locally. Ideal for sixth-form students, these masterclasses allow young people to experience higher education and discover how to access career-focused, vocational degree pathways, including degree apprenticeships, that support their professional aspirations.

    Subject-Specific Workshops
