An exciting summer club schedule at Forth Valley College kicks off in early July at Forth Valley College giving children between 10-15 years of age a range of interesting things to do during their holidays.

The Falkirk and Stirling Campuses will be the venues for a fantastic mix of hands-on practical workshops and project-work, led by a combination of lecturing staff, alumni and industry experts.

Throughout the summer there are loads more for those hoping to find a fun and inspiring way to spend part of their holidays or improve their career prospects.

Some of the courses are aimed at pupils in the Forth Valley area, soon to start high school. The summer clubs will open up a whole new world to young people who want to reinforce the path they want to take when they leave school, and also to those who are looking to turn that spark of interest in a subject into a full blown career.
