Come along and give a real sense of what it's like to study a trade!

Our Carpentry and Electrical lecturers will be on hand to show you the ropes. You'll get to see our workshop facilities and get hands-on with the tools.

If you've ever considered taking up a trade, this is a great chance to give it a go. Our friendly lecturers are happy to answer all your questions and share their experiences. You’ll also learn more about different trade pathways, training options, apprenticeships, and career opportunities.

There’s no cost to attend, and lunch will be provided.

Please note that closed-toe shoes will be required to be worn at all times. Without which, you will be unable to enter our workshop spaces.
