CareersFest is a fun day filled with hands-on sessions that give you a sneak peek into college life. Youโ€™ll try out different activities, explore various courses and see what future career paths might look like for you. Plus, thereโ€™s a mini festival at lunch with food, music and fun activities!

The event takes place at the College campus.

Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and maybe a water bottle. Weโ€™ll provide all the materials you need for the activities.

From science experiments to creative arts, and tech explorations, thereโ€™s something for everyone. Youโ€™ll get to try your hand at activities related to different courses offered by the College.

After a morning of activities, you can enjoy some delicious food, listen to music and have a go at some fun games and competitions. Itโ€™s a great way to relax and meet new people.

Easy! Enter your details on the Register Form above and choose a session for the morning and afternoon. It takes less than a minute!

The event itself is totally free, including the food at lunchtime, so thereโ€™s no need to bring additional money.

Some of the sessions may require you to wear protective footwear or particular clothing. Click on a session above to find out more.
