Year 10-13 learners with care experience and their supporting adults are invited to explore the pathways and support available to them at university across the West Midlands and beyond.
Held at The Exchange in Birmingham city centre, this event will help learners explore the world of university and learn about the specific support available at university to learners with care experience. You'll be joined by current university students who have also experienced being in care, with the opportunity to ask questions in a safe space.
There will be a range of workshops on university, student life, careers, student finance and the specific support available for them at university. You will also be joined by Student Finance England, BECOME, a local MP and West Midlands universities. There will be the chance to chat to other learners and carers attending the event, find out more information about university and how Aimhigher can support young people as they navigate their options after secondary school.
This event is free to attend with lunch and refreshments provided. If you require financial support to cover travel costs, or have any other questions, please get in touch.
