Hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds visited our centre in Tingley on Saturday 15 October to attend Careers With Animals Day, hoping to find out how they can turn their dream of working with animals into a reality.
With over 400 visitors dropping by to speak to exhibitors and attend careers talks, a fantastic day was had by all. A variety of animals also came along, including Murphy from Murphy’s Army! Tracey Croucher, Short Course and Events Manager at the College, who organised the event, commented: “We had no idea how many people to expect on the day; so we were delighted that so many people came along to support the event and learn more about working with animals. We were lucky to have exhibitors and speakers from a variety of animal and veterinary organisations and we would like to thank them all for getting involved and helping make the event such a huge success.”
Careers With Animals Day will now be an annual event at the College’s centre near Leeds, with the next date already planned for the Saturday 14 October 2017.
For those who missed the event, but are interested in finding out more about the courses available at the College, the next course open day is Saturday 25 February 2017 from 10am-1pm. Further details can be found at www.caw.ac.uk.
