Guidance workshops
Help your students grow their talents in whichever area of study they choose.
Through discussions, group work, and games, we'll help engage your students and get them excited about higher education.
All we need to deliver these sessions is a computer and a classroom – we’ll bring everything else with us. Students will need to sit in groups around tables for the workshops, as they’ll be working together to complete the tasks set.
Each workshop is one hour long, but we may be able to adjust if this doesn't suit your timetable.
