Head of careers at RGS Worcester Audrey Williams, who organised the event, said: “This year we welcomed representatives from a wide range of universities across the UK, advising students on Higher Education options, applying to competitive courses and studying in Scotland. Many delegates were also able to offer guidance on Degree Apprenticeships and application routes, while students showed strong interest in exploring work experience opportunities and future career pathways.
“As a major event of its kind in the area, the reputation of the RGS Careers EXPO continues to attract exhibitors from across the country, and opportunities like this allow students to ask questions, broaden their horizons and approach future decisions with confidence.”
