Virtual Careers Live!

Our Virtual Careers Live! events are an opportunity to take part in an online event packed with career ideas and gain access to our series of live employer talks.

Open to pupils and students aged 13 to 18, the virtual exhibition hall contains stands from local and national employers, universities and training providers. You can also visit our dedicated Advice & Guidance Zone for fun and interactive help in finding your way into a career.

You can also join a live presentation explaining how to get the most from visiting the exhibition hall and get started with career planning. This will be followed by a live Q&A session where you can get your questions answered instantly by our team of experts.

Once you have registered for the event we will also keep you up-to-date with our programme of live talks, which will each specialise in specific sectors of employment, such as engineering, professional services and many more.

Open Evenings

These are primarily aimed at Year 11s / school leavers and typically happen in October/November each year. We have added additional dates in February and March.

Due to Covid-19 our Open Evenings are going online as virtual events. These events will include a live feed from our Principal as well as video presentations from our heads of curriculum, virtual tours of our three campuses and lots of information on each one of our courses and life at SCG.

Please sign up using the student’s details via the form below. The day before the event we’ll email you a link to access the virtual Open Evening event.

We look forward to you joining us online!

Taster Events

We offer such a wide range of Post 16 courses, it can be hard to narrow down your choices to three/four A Levels or one Vocational subject, lots of which will be brand new to you and not studied at school.

That's why we run a number of subject Taster Events throughout the year which are a great opportunity to get a better feel for the courses we offer and which ones you may want to apply for. The on-site events also provide you with an idea of what College life is like.

Advice Events

Advice Events are an opportunity for school leavers and adult returners to speak to our tutors and support teams about studying A Levels, Vocational full-time and part-time courses, Higher Education courses and Apprenticeships at Shrewsbury Colleges Group.

Whether you want to improve your career prospects, gain promotion, find a hobby or improve your practical skills, we will have a course for you.

Virtual Post 16 Options Roadshows

We have successfully delivered information sessions for Post 16 options for the last four years, we are hoping to continue to provide this valuable information for year 11 pupils in 2021 whilst adhering to the Coronavirus safety guidelines, we will continually review the arrangements and keep you updated.

Post 16 Options Roadshows are information events for pupils leaving Year 11 for Sixth Form or Further Education. These free to attend mini expos typically take place in September/October each year and bring together the main providers of post 16 education in the area. However, these events are available to view online now, by clicking the link below. Each institution has a stand with course information and staff available to speak to regarding your particular interests. In addition, there will be information from the Principal of Shrewsbury Colleges Group explaining how the different qualifications work and allow you to progress to university and employment.
