What do we offer?

We understand sometimes it can be difficult to schedule outside visits and meetings, so we are more than happy to come to you. Our Student Engagement Officers (SEO) can come along to your venue and assist with:

  • Assemblies
  • Careers Fairs
  • Parents’ Evenings
  • Workshops
  • Other School Events

If you have the opportunity to bring young people out of the school setting, we would love to welcome you to the College. This allows for a real college experience and gives a good overview of Bradford College and its offer. We offer:

  • Campus Tours
  • Taster Sessions
  • ESOL Taster Sessions
  • SEND Taster Sessions

If you’re holding an event with attendees interested in pursuing their education or any event in the community – we can help.

The team can provide information and advice in-person and showcase the programmes and courses that we have on offer at the College. We have previously attended community events such as Bradford Pride, Better Start Bradford, Saltaire Festival and City of Culture 2025.

Our experienced Outreach team are available to offer support and guidance on the higher education options at the College. Our offer includes HE-specific presentations, workshops and sessions for young people wanting to progress in to university-level study. We have been involved in events in this sector such as UCAS, Get into Teaching and Create Your Future.
