Student Helpdesk

At Loughborough College, we have qualified career information, advice and guidance staff to help you plan ahead and make career choices, even before you start at the college. Our aim is to ensure that you have selected the right programme of study or apprenticeship for your chosen career at the start and receive support with taking your next steps towards the end of your time with us and even after you have left.

We offer:

• A free and confidential service to learners at Loughborough College (open to you before, during and after your course/studies).
• The opportunity to receive information and discuss all options available to you, by telephone, Teams, email and face-to-face (drop-in and appointments).
• Careers online resources.
• Tutorials on topics including options from courses, applications, selection, gap years, higher education and further training.

The College Careers Service consists of a team of qualified career, guidance professionals who are dedicated to helping people to progress successfully into further, higher education, employment, Apprenticeships or gap year opportunities.

The Careers and Enterprise Hub is a partnership between Loughborough College and Loughborough University. The staff there can help you to unlock your potential, so that you can shape the future you want, through courses, jobs, apprenticeships or starting your own business. They will help you to develop the skills that employers need, honing your job hunting, CV, cover letter, interview and assessment skills.

Our team of experts will work with you and tailor their information, advice and guidance, based on your strengths, interests and needs, using the wealth of resources at their fingertips.  We also promote job vacancies for businesses and help to match job seekers with employers.
