School Liaison Bulletin - Connect2College

FOR SCHOOL STAFF

***Connect2College Programme***

We are extremely proud to have now launched our brand new Connect2College programme, a resource for all schools to

access.

The purpose of this programme is to primarily support your year 11s and maybe also be beneficial to your year 10 pupils. By

creating this programme we want to ensure their journey from school to the

College is as smooth as possible.

The programme includes some useful resources, curriculum specific activities and quizzes for pupils to get involved in from home.

The booklet also links back to a wide range of additional resources that we have just launched on our main website and would encourage your pupils to access:

We hope you find it useful and would ask you to share it with your pupils. If you have any questions or queries please contact the School Liaison Team here at The Manchester College.

***Greater Manchester Combined Authority Q&A***

On Tuesday 2nd June and 16th June, to support the Great Science Share, GMCA are hosting a live Q&A panel for young people with Greater Manchester employers whose roles are within the

sustainability industry or are addressing the climate emergency.

Aimed at a KS3 audience, young people will hear from a range of different panellists, including Electricity North West, Engie, and the Hydrogen Fuel Innovation Centre, about their roles, career

pathways and top tips for how young people could enter a similar role or industry. Young people will have the opportunity to submit questions to the panellists about their role, career pathway and

careers in sustainability within Greater Manchester.

To find out more about these inspiring sessions and to book a space please take a look at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/inspire-your-students-about-future-careers-in-the-sustainability-
