Kay Fraser, director of faculty for Care, Social Sciences and Education, at Fife College said: “Our online engagement event is a great opportunity to get first-hand information and insight about health and social care and childcare courses available here at Fife College, including a number which start in January. The event will also be a great chance to find out career options and employment opportunities within the sector.”

“From the choice to study full-time or part-time to work-placed learning and degree-level progression opportunities, there are a wide variety of ways to start a journey towards a rewarding career which makes a real difference to people's lives.”

Charlene said: “The motivation to choose a course in care at Fife College came from an aspiration to gain entry to the BM Midwifery degree course. Being a mature student returning to education after a long break my chosen university had specified highers in Human Biology and Psychology.”
