At Kirklees College, we have a team of people dedicated to helping you decide what you want to do after your GCSE’s. From taster sessions, competitions, career advice, and activities, our team is there to answer all your questions and help you get the most out of every opportunity we have available. Meet The Team What are taster sessions? Taster sessions are an excellent way for you to try a subject area before you enrol on the course. Our taster sessions are available to years 9 – 13, and would normally take place in college either during the school day or in a twilight session after school. Due to the current restrictions we are having to do things differently and are currently creating some virtual sessions that will provide you with information about a specific subject area, useful websites to look at and a task that you can get involved in. These will be available on our virtual resources page before Christmas.
