You probably all read the recent headline in Vet Times stating that a 'Rising Number of Students Regret Taking Vet Course' (1). You may or may not have an opinion on this topic - but a good question would be 'how can we better prepare students to make decisions on a veterinary career in the first place'?
Jenny Moffett of Skills Tree has joined up with ONCORE ePD, to provide a 3 week, fully tutored course helping potential vet students to explore the options, and if vet school is the choice for them, to help support them in working through the initial stages of this process. Yes, there is a fee for this course, however £249 is a low price to pay for helping with such a difficult (and expensive) decision. Students will have opportunity to practise skills such as SWOT anaylsis, reflection and researching as part of their course, and feebdack will be offered on certain aspects of their coursework.
To be fair to those that maybe can't justify the course costs, a FREE webinar is also on offer - this is a 20 minute (plus questions) presentation from Jenny, which offers potential students with some useful snippets such as information on available vet schools, some pointers on work experience, and how to get the best out of open days; amongst other things.
ONCORE/Skills Tree will consider re-running the webinar depending on uptake.
