Careers and higher education fairs

Look out for us at your college careers or higher education fairs! We’ll be there to provide you with impartial advice and support to help you make the most of your visit. Here’s what one student told us: “I have taken part in numerous trips and events organised by Make Happen… one was a residential trip to Loughborough University, where a group of us got to stay in university dorms and grasped what it is really like to be a student there. It was amazing – we left feeling like we had been university students for a few days.”
