Junior Academies
ncn’s Junior Academies are fun learning activities for young people in years 9, 10 and 11 at ncn campuses. Junior Academies are short courses designed to give you the opportunity to try out a wide range of career paths! Sessions take place on Saturdays over a number of weeks or during school holidays and enable you to find out more about a range of industries including creative arts, catering, fashion, hair and beauty, forensic science and media.
Prices vary depending on the academy chosen and the programmes culminate in an award ceremony where learners can showcase their new skills and celebrate their achievements with family and friends. For further information, please contact the ncn Call Centre on 0115 9 100 100 or email enquiries@ncn.ac.uk.
