A WINCHESTER further education college is looking for local employers to take part in an annual event.

Business owners and managers are needed at Peter Symonds College’s Level 2 Employment Event, at The Mercure Wessex Hotel in Winchester, on Tuesday, February 10.

It is designed to give students currently on a one-year course in business, leisure, tourism, media and IT and insight into the daily challenges within the world of work.

Debbie Mahoney, head of careers at the college, said: “This is a great opportunity for employers to work with young people to help them understand more about commerce. We ask employers to pose two problems for the students to discuss and work out solutions and very often, those employers receive some great ideas and fresh perspectives that they can develop back in the workplace.”

Anyone interested in taking part in this event, from 9am-12.30pm, should contact Debbie Mahoney on 01962 857500 or careers@psc.ac.uk.
