A new and exciting Skills @ Work Programme is coming on line
next year for all 5th year students. It promises to be innovative
and creative bringing the world of work closer to the student.
The learning outcomes of the programme are based on the syllabus
of the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme. It prepares
young people for adult life by ensuring they are educated
in the broadest sense with an ability to cope and thrive in
an environment of rapid change. Participants in the programme
are encouraged to develop key skills that are relevant to
the needs of those preparing for further education, seeking
employment or planning to start their own business. These
skills and competencies are fundamental to both academic and
vocational success. Already activities and speakers have been
organised for next year. Students are guaranteed a fulfilling
learning experience. We look forward to making the programme
a success.
St Brigid’s has forged a new relationship with a global
company, Diageo. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students
as they will now have the practical business expertise and
experience this firm has to offer. The staff of Diageo have
already delivered a talk to the present 6thyr business and
LCVP students covering many areas of the business course.
John Dowling and Gerry Massey are very enthusiastic and committed
about next years programme and have very kindly given freely
of their time in the planning and preparation of it.
