College Opens Health Careers Options to Ashford Schools
More than a hundred pupils from schools in Kent have taken part in an Open Road event at South Kent College to see what different careers they could choose in the Health Service.
Pupils from Highworth Grammar School for Girls, The Towers School and Ashford Christ Church School, all in Ashford, as well as Pent Valley Technology College, Folkestone, Sandwich Technology School and Homewood School in Tenterden came to the Jemmett Road campus in Ashford for a series of workshops, based on NHS professions.
Learning Manager for Health and Social Care at South Kent College, Nikki Paine, thanked all the pupils for coming and entering into every activity with enthusiasm. They visited the William Harvey Hospital and the Shepway Resource Centre, and at College learned about radiography, health and safety assessments and about hospices.
Mrs Paine said: 'This is all about showing young people who are thinking about what career they would like that there is more to the Health Service than being a doctor or nurse.'
