Year 10 Careers and Colleges News w/c 15th June 2020 As we are unable to have our taster days this year at Brooklands, Strode’s and Woking Colleges, the colleges are working hard at putting together information and holding virtual tours for you. Please look on the links provided and sign up to the ones that you want to do. If the times are inconvenient the colleges are often amenable to send you a link that you can look at later or you can view tours that have already happened. In addition, we are still offering personal careers advice remotely from Mr Allon-Smith who works for Innervate. All these are recorded for safeguarding purposes. If you would like an interview to discuss colleges, courses and careers, please email: s.pinole@thamesmead.surrey.sch.uk Kingston College: experience our Open Events from home... You can still experience our Open Events for yourself without leaving the comfort of your home – our Virtual Open Events will run during week commencing 22 June, register for a live webinar now.
