MORE than 800 students attended an event to help map out their futures after leaving college.

A careers fair at Palmer's College saw 40 employers and training providers keen attract the attention of students.

The event also saw the college welcome back so many former students now representing their new employers.

These included Ivy Monyenche an Investment Analyst at Schroders Investment, Samuel Khan an Investment Procurement Apprentice at Linklaters, Sam Rohrbasser a Business Analyst at the Ford Motor Company and Alex Watkins who is Managing Director of his own creative design agency.

Mark Vinall, Principal of Palmer’s College said: “This is always a valuable annual event for our students and I was delighted to see so many employers supporting the careers event, including employer representation from so many former Palmer’s College students.”
