Tommy Martin, Principal and Chief Executive at SERC said, “SERC delivers courses at all levels up to university degree, including apprenticeships, higher-level apprenticeships, and traineeships. We have the highest student success rate across Northern Ireland’s regional colleges, and our vocational programmes are aligned with the Department for the Economy’s vision for Northern Ireland, ensuring students develop the practical skills, technical knowledge, and professional behaviours that employers are looking for.
“I invite you to explore SERC’s professional-standard facilities, including our specialist studios, workshops, IT suites, industry-grade kitchens, hair and beauty salons and laboratories, all designed to prepare students for their chosen career pathway. There will also be the opportunity to try hands-on activities and learn how SERC’s practical, project-based approach grows student confidence for employment and the wider world. Come along and see exactly what is available on your doorstep in each of our local campuses.”
Experienced tutors and lecturers will be on hand throughout the evening to discuss courses, career pathways and progression opportunities. SERC’s impartial Careers Service will be available for anyone unsure of their next step, offering guidance on routes that best suit individual skills and aspirations. Student Support teams will also be present to highlight the wide range of services available to promote student wellbeing and help overcome any barriers to success.
