Training and events
Higher Education and other providers offer free and low cost training, events and workshops to students and graduates accross the region. These broadly fall into five categories:
- Skills Workshops
- The Peninsula Graduate Training Programme
- Careers Events & Fairs
- Business Start Up Workshops
- Flying Start Enterprise Events
The vast majority of events are free but it is essential that you double check with the provider that you are eligible to attend and whether you need to book in advance (unless otherwise indicated on this calendar).
