News: Dearne Valley students benefit from creative careers advice from Gala Tent
A group of students from Dearne Valley College in Rotherham have been given a unique insight into the world of work by Gala Tent, one of the UK's leading designers and manufacturers of marquees and gazebos.
The Manvers company has been helping a group of young graphic design students prepare to take their first steps into their careers, having been approached by the nearby college.
Former student Kathrine Furniss, who now works as a graphic designer for Gala Tent, was invited back to the college to speak to current graphic design students about opportunities in the area, after college. Kathrine's presentation gave the students an insight into what it's like to work in a commercial graphic design role, as well as advice tips on producing a good CV which leaves a lasting impression on potential employers.
Kathrine also offered valuable advice on preparing for interviews and employer's expectations of employees in the workplace, as well as talking to the students about career opportunities within Gala Tent for apprentices and graduates.
Kathrine (pictured above, second left) said: "I was delighted to have the opportunity to go back to Dearne Valley College and help budding graphic designers prepare to take the next step in their career. I was really impressed with the students' work and I hope that my advice and guidance inspires them to work hard and stay motivated as they enter the competitive job market."
Louise Heap, graphic design tutor at Dearne Valley College, added: "The College is excited to welcome Kathrine from Gala Tent to speak to our current Level 2 Art students about her career in Graphic Design. Katherine is a former student of Dearne Valley College and it's great to see how far she has come and hear of her successes. This will serve as an inspiration for our current students in terms of their aspirations and career paths."
The college is hosting a free business conference today at its Manvers campus which includes keynote speakers on the important issues of social media and business crime.
