Over the years I’ve become fascinated with how young people find their place in the world and how they grow and develop, given the right circumstances, availing of opportunities and managing setbacks. However, I have become increasingly aware of the unprecedented challenges that young people face and the urgency of providing them with the support they need to get off to a good start. Leaving cert students are particularly vulnerable as they are generally ill-equipped for the task of making their first big career decision.

 

Drawing on 30-years’ experience in higher education as an educator and course developer, my Career Development Programmes are designed to enable students explore and discover for themselves. They start to get to know more about themselves, learn how to research and weigh up information so that they can make informed decisions.
