The Capitol Building, Bracknell

The Bracknell Forest Careers Event is a fantastic opportunity for the borough’s young people and their parents and carers to get the best possible information about education, training and employment prospects for the years ahead.

An evening session between 5pm and 8pm will be open to younger students, their parents and carers or to anyone who may have already left education and needs help with getting into work or training. You can also get advice on how to put together a stand-out CV and polish up interview techniques. The college will be doing demonstrations and practical sessions allowing you to try many subjects for yourself.

Hair & Beauty
In Hairdressing, learn how to do a ‘fishtail plait’ and some ‘spiral tonging’ on dolly heads, or maybe try your own style! In Beauty, learn how to do a hand massage or manicure.

Electrical Installation
See a practical demonstration of electrial installation using workboards and run through the inspection and test equipment.

Childcare and Health & Social Care
Look after virtual reality babies and wear an empathy belly to get a real insight.

Uniformed Public Services
Check out some of the equipment their UPS students are trained to use and chat to them whilst they help with security during the day and evening.

Travel & Tourism
Get a safety briefing from their Cabin Crew and try on the life jackets.

Media
Become a newsreader for the day! Try your hand at reading an autocue whilst being filmed.

Photography
Have your photograph taken, or have a go at taking a portrait photo using the latest equipment.

Everyone is welcome to attend and make the most of this outstanding opportunity.

The Bracknell Forest Careers Event website has more details and a registration form for the evening session.
