Adults looking to climb the career ladder can explore higher education routes at New College Durham’s Future Careers event on Tuesday 16 June 2026. The free evening runs from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Framwellgate Moor Campus and zeroes in on University Centre programmes designed for working residents.
Visitors can chat one‑to‑one with tutors from Digital Marketing, HR, and Leadership and Management courses, and wander through the relevant curriculum areas to see what studying there is really like. Registration is needed via Eventbrite, and refreshments will be laid on throughout the session.
The early‑evening timing is deliberately set for people already in jobs, and the New College Durham website highlights the chance to get guidance on both study options and career pathways in a single visit. The college runs a string of open events each June, with this one specifically targeting adults seeking to progress through higher education rather than school leavers.
With the three featured subject areas all showing strong demand across the region’s job market, the event offers a practical starting point for anyone in County Durham thinking about a sideways move or a step up.
