Students at New City College have access to a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) where you will be able to access an abundance of careers, courses, employability, UCAS, and university resources to support you through your career journey. Examples include how to write an impressive CV, or apply for a university or apprenticeship course, find apprenticeships, and discover Careers fairs.

At New City college we deliver Careers Fairs across our campuses to provide you with the opportunity to meet recruiters and find out about employment and training opportunities on offer from different organisations. A broad range of employers attend our fairs, from international organisations to small and medium businesses, so you can really compare what they have to offer. 

Our annual Higher Education fairs across our campuses provides a fantastic opportunity to meet university representatives in person, research university course options, find out advice on the application process both in the UK and overseas, and enhance your knowledge. You will also have the opportunity to review the courses you are interested in and discuss the links to career paths.

As a parent, you are incredibly influential when it comes to the decisions your child makes in all areas of their lives, particularly when it comes to their education and careers. We know that the choices which are open to your child today may be very different from when you were in their position and you may feel as if you’re unsure about what advice to offer.

At New City College we want to support parents with more information about some of the things they may need to consider when helping their child with making decisions.
