Find your hidden talent at York College

Everyone has at least one thing that they are really good at. Unfortunately for some people their talents remain hidden. York College is helping to promote the national ‘Sign Up Now’ campaign by promoting the fact that learning can help people discover hidden talents and completely transform lives in the process.

Whether your talent is pottery, accounting or computing York College can help you to choose the right course, at the right level, to unlock your particular hidden talent. If you have few or no formal qualifications and want to progress at work, or completely change your career path, the college offers a range of Access courses for those returning to education and moving to higher level studies. There is also the opportunity to further a hobby or join a course purely for fun, it’s all about discovering your hidden talents and opening new and fulfilling opportunities at your local college.

For those looking to progress to studying a Higher Education qualification, York College offers a range of degrees at a fraction of the cost of going to other higher education establishments. Bob Saynor, Assistant Principal for Higher Education at York College says: “Students can save over £4,000 whilst studying on a full-time, three year degree programme at York College, compared to universities. Studying locally can often prove to be the best option for many students.”

Iwan Thomas, British Athlete and Masterchef finalist is supporting the ‘Sign Up Now’ campaign. He has experienced numerous challenges and changes in his career and encourages you to discover your hidden talent in this year’s Sign Up Now campaign message:
“Don’t be afraid to try new things because if you don’t try you’ll never know what your talents are. Take your time and good luck!”

To find out about ways in which you can unlock your hidden talent, York College is holding an Enrolment and Information Evening on 3rd September (6.30 – 8.00pm) To find out more contact York College on 01904 770400.
