Around the social media aspect of this issue, a website is a good idea but do the witnesses believe that students would look at a website?

When I was at university, there were career fairs that different companies attended and when I was at school, there were open days where we went to specific colleges to learn about those colleges and the course varieties they had. Do the witnesses believe that in major cities, such as Belfast and Derry in the North and Dublin, Galway and Cork in the South, there could be university fairs where all the different universities would come together? There could be a lecture on how to write a personal statement as part of these fairs. Could that be another avenue? This might be something that has been done that I am not aware of.
