Adult learners are being invited to take a virtual tour of Halesowen College during its Higher Education Open Event which runs from Wednesday, January 6 to Friday January 15.

It is an opportunity for those looking to change their career, develop their existing role or get back into employment to find out about the courses on offer.

Visitors can use the website live chat to speak to a member of staff from 5pm to 8pm on Thursday, January 7, and Tuesday, January 12.

In partnership with the University of Worcester there are a range of courses, such as distance learning, Access to Higher Education and part time courses that can help secure future employment.

Helen Burgoyne, Marketing Hub Manager at Halesowen College, said: “Times are tough at the moment and a lot of people will be thinking about enhancing their qualifications or re-training for a new career.”

Visitors can also find out more about the University Centre Halesowen, launched to introduce public lectures on a range of topics.

The event will be available on the College’s website at www.halesowen.ac.uk.
