On Saturday 15 October, The College of Animal Welfare is hosting a Careers with Animals Day at its centre in Tingley, near Leeds. If you’re interested in working with animals, this is your chance to find out about training opportunities and employment prospects within the animal and veterinary sector. What’s more, entry is completely free of charge!
Whether you’re a school leaver working out what your next move is going to be, an adult looking for a career change, or unemployed and looking to get back to work – exhibitors from some of the leading animal care organisations will be on hand to speak to you about your options, providing you with ideas and information that will help you get started!
A series of careers talks will be held throughout the day covering different careers, such as how to be a veterinary nurse or become a dog groomer. Exhibitors confirmed so far include African Conservation Experience, Royal Veterinary College, North K9 Dog Training, Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Animal Therapy, Cats Protection, RSPCA – and many more! This event will allow you to speak to the professionals about what is really involved, and discover what training and experience is needed to get you there.
Leslie Heaton-Smith, Marketing and Development Director at The College of Animal Welfare, said: “For the past 25 years we have been running this event from our centre in Cambridgeshire. Due to repeated requests for a similar event to be held in the North of England, we are delighted to now be able to run this event from our centre in Tingley. The popularity of the event continues to grow, and each year we see people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to find out how they can turn their passion for animals into a rewarding career. We have another great line up of exhibitors for this event and are really looking forward to, what is set to be, another fantastic day.”
The event will be held at The College of Animal Welfare’s education and training centre in Tingley, West Yorkshire (WF3 1DR). Doors are open from 10am until 3pm and entry is completely free of charge! For more information please visit www.careerswithanimals.co.uk or call the College on 01480 422060.
