A college spokesperson said: “This is your moment to dive in and see what your future could look like.

“Meet the passionate staff who’ll guide your learning, chat with students who’ve been where you are now, and explore the innovative spaces where ideas and careers take shape.

“At Galashiels, you’ll step into a world of possibility, hands-on demonstrations, guided tours, creative showcases and immersive tech experiences, from VR and Esports to construction, beauty, engineering and art.

“Over at Newtown, our Landbased Rural Skills campus will be alive with activity. Meet the animals, explore modern agricultural equipment, and discover the environments that bring horticulture, horse care and gamekeeping to life.”

The college’s support teams, Students’ Association, Skills Development Scotland (SDS) and Developing the Young Workforce Borders (DYW) will offer help to navigate courses, careers, and funding.

The Borders College open day takes place on Wednesday, January 28. Register for a place at www.borderscollege.ac.uk/openday.
