Our Schools Liaison Coordinator organises school visits and taster days, attends events across the region as well as learning all the little details that make Sparsholt a great place for school leavers to achieve their goals and be prepared to take the next step.

  • Careers Fairs

  • Mock interviews

  • Industry and careers talks
