EDUCATION LIAISON
Welcome
We are very proud at Hugh Baird College of our specialist programme of activities designed to equip young people, teachers and advisers with relevant and up-to-date careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) on both Further Education and Higher Education opportunities.
Our work with schools and colleges is designed to assist careers advisors and help students and their key influencers navigate their way through the, sometimes challenging, education landscape. Our activities are delivered at Hugh Baird College, in schools/colleges, or virtually.
They are designed to be interactive and enjoyable with lots of opportunities to meet with current students and academic staff. We hope you find this information useful in your role and our team look forward to working with you and your students in the coming year.
Activities
We have a number of talks, workshops and presentations that we can deliver in your school or college, or virtually. Enquire about an activity.
Full College Tour
Session length: 1-2 hours
Can it be delivered virtually: No
Gatsby Benchmark: 5, 6 and 7
Suitable for: All year groups
Tours of the whole of Hugh Baird College are great for pupils who are still undecided about their choices, or for those who are keen to get a clear idea of what a Further Education College looks and feels like. Full college tours take in a wide variety of workshops, studios and other facilities, as well as Hugh Baird College’s student services and communal areas.
Subject-specific Tour
Session length: 30 mins - 1 hour
Can it be delivered virtually: No
Gatsby Benchmark: 3, 4 and 7
Suitable for: All year groups
Some pupils know exactly what they want to do; the subject-specific tours are designed to support them as they move towards progressing to College. The chance to visit the course areas and meet the tutors they will work with can offer pupils a great boost, showing them a glimpse of their future and motivating them to achieve their goals in school.
Subject Taster Session
Session length: 1/2 day
Can it be delivered virtually: No
Suitable for: All year groups
Taster sessions are a great way for students to really get a feel for college life and to help them make some important decisions about how they might spend the next few years. Hugh Baird College lecturers will lead structured sessions which are designed to allow your pupils to dip their toe in the water of college life.
