College holding an open day

Coleg Powys will be opening its doors on Saturday to give potential students the opportunity to see what's on offer.

Students will get the chance to see the wide range of courses that are on offer from September 2011, to have a look around the College and speak to
lecturers.

The College will be open from 9am to 12pm across all sites - Newtown,  Brecon, Llandrindod Wells and Ystradgynlais.

The day will be of particular interest to school leavers, but will also give Year 9 students the chance to find out about the vocational options that they can do alongside their GCSE subjects. In addition, adult learners can find out about the education and training opportunities available to them.
