With young people across Northern Ireland anxiously waiting for A-level and GCSE results, South Eastern Regional College (SERC) continues to offer free, impartial, and tailored careers advice in the run-up to result days.

Shirley Moore, Senior Careers Officer at SERC says, “SERC’s Careers Service is here to help school leavers and their parents explore career pathways and options.  Our team offers professional, impartial careers advice and guidance to prospective SERC students, as well as anyone in the local community.”

“For those students who are considering their options, and thinking of coming to SERC, we are offering 30-minute careers appointments from Monday 14 to Wednesday 16 August, for anyone awaiting AS/A2 results, and from Monday 21 to Wednesday 23 August for anyone awaiting GSCE results.   These are available at our Bangor, Downpatrick, Lisburn, and Newtownards Campuses. To book your appointment, please email careers@serc.ac.uk indicating which campus you would like to attend.”

The careers team will be on campus for drop in first-come, first-served sessions from 9.00am – 5.00pm on A-level results day on 17 August and 18 August from 9.00am – 3.15pm for Higher Education Enrolment,  and again on 24 August 9.00am – 5.00pm and 25 August 9.00am – 3.15pm as students plan next steps after GCSE results for Further Education, Traineeship and Apprenticeship Enrolment.

Shirley concludes, “Deciding on the next step after leaving school can be a daunting time, and it is important that young people and their parents are aware of all the learning opportunities available, enabling them to make informed choices. Our careers officers can talk young people through their individual situation and help them to see for themselves what options are available, not only at SERC but also further afield.”
