Freshers' Fayre

The Freshers Fayre at SGS College is one of the key dates in the SGS College diary. At SGS we run two events one at our WISE Campus and one at our Stroud Campus. The event provides learners with more opportunities to meet with charities, employers and universities with an opportunity to get involved in activities and also gain some important information.
