A week of inspiring events will aim to equip Angus students for life beyond the college doors.
Angus College is hosting a week of events which will begin with a talk by Secret Millionaire star Tony Banks.
Mr Banks will talk about his inspirational journey from humble beginnings in Dundee to owning the largest independent care home in Scotland.
He will be addressing nearly 100 students in the Arbroath college’s Enterprise Centre, initiating them into the world of entrepreneurship, business and philanthropy.
But it is not just Mr Banks who will be on hand to educate the students about their future potential. His talk kicks off a whole week of events designed to further equip students for the outside world and future employment.
Called Motivate Me, they involve a collection of speakers and sessions for final year and Higher National level students.
The week is aimed at giving them a chance to meet real employers like NCR, hear inspiring speakers and join motivational sessions.
They will also learn how to present their CVs in specially designed clinics and will take part in mock interviews with HR and recruitment specialists.
For students progressing to higher education there will be university transition workshops and the chance to learn about life after college.
Finally, after that there will be some good advice on how to cope with the stresses of assessments and exams and learn to wind down with relaxation techniques and reiki sessions.
Marketing team leader Seonaid Ross said: “What makes this week special is that we’ve tailored it to students across all curricular areas, taking into consideration their different needs.
“For example, there’s a free first aid course for the more practical courses like construction and hospitality. So far, we’ve had a great response to Motivate Me week.
“The students all know it is tough out there, but this is the perfect opportunity for them to better prepare themselves and get ahead of the pack,” she said.
“We have worked hard to bring a varied portfolio together and one which we believe will inspire, enlighten and above all, motivate.
“I’m sure we’ll get some great results,” she added.
