The College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) will hold career days on each of its three campuses to offer advice and guidance to prospective students wishing to follow a career in the agri-food and land-based sectors next Thursday, August 24.
CAFRE’s career advice events will offer the opportunity to speak to college staff and to find out more about the range of courses to help people to make the right decision for their chosen careers in agricultural industry.
Boasting over 90% student satisfaction across all courses, CAFRE says that it offers a gateway to “many exciting career opportunities”.
The careers advice events will take place in: Loughry Campus, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, from 3:00pm to 8:00pm; Enniskillen Campus, Co. Fermanagh, starting at 7:00pm; and Greenmount Campus, Co. Antrim starting at 7:00pm.
The college has claimed that over 98% of students secure employment or progress to continuing education within six months of completing a CAFRE course.
Speaking ahead of the career days, CAFRE College Director Martin McKendry said: “This is an important time for anyone selecting a course to map out their chosen career. That is why students of all ages choose CAFRE – because they are interested in getting a good job at the end of their course.
“CAFRE has excellent links with businesses and industry organisations, many of which employ our graduates and who also support our students by providing work placements, guest lectures and real-life case studies and research projects,” McKendry added.
They also donate over £56,000 in student bursaries across all disciplines to help fund the cost of their studies.
“So, whether you are interested in a certificate, diploma, foundation or honours degree, postgraduate diploma or masters course, we hope to see you at one of our careers advice events to show you the world of opportunities that CAFRE can open up.”
For those interested, more information on the events is available on the CAFRE website.
