Employability: sessions to support future employment/continued education. Such as: skills mapping, leadership, volunteering & outreach and CV development.

*Online SEP and WSE Provision*

During third term John Snow College students are engaging in remote learning in response to Government movement restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Therefore students will be able to access a programme of online wider student experience to support their ongoing personal enrichment.

The programme will include a variety of online resources, interactive activities and support material developed by College staff and the Alumni community.
