Open Evening: 27th of November 2013

Barnsley college has regular open evenings throughout the year to allow potential new students to get a taste of the courses we have available.

At the latest open evening the Construction trades had a competition to see who could create the most interactive and enjoyable stand.

Here are a few photographs from the event:

The department would like to give special thanks to the students who helped out at the trade stands, because they gave up their own time to ensure that all the visitors had an informative time.
