College West Anglia Public Protective Services students joined the army at Alive Lynnsport campus for a careers activity afternoon. Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers from the army visited along with the Royal Anglian and the Parachute Regiment.

Face to face learning activities such as this, with interaction with the armed forces and up-to-date careers advice, give students accurate information and encouragement to make informed decisions about their future careers.

Activities carried out by the army with the students included teamwork activity sessions, a careers talk, weapons display stand and surveillance equipment display.

Tracey Hall, Work Experience and Careers Coordinator - Public and Protective Services at CWA said:

“The visit by the wonderful Army Outreach team was full of activities which gave CWA learners a great insight into life in the military. We all really enjoyed the afternoon. It’s so important to immerse the students in real life experiences and that's something that's one of our missions in the Public and Protective Services department.”
