Hundreds of students from secondary schools throughout Fingal are set to descent on St Peregrine’ s and exhibitors will include TU Dublin, Cyber Quest, Dublin Airport, Shelbourne FC, Careers Portal and many more.

Representatives from a range of Irish further education and training colleges, apprenticeships and universities will be on hand with information on courses and employment opportunities as well as advice on how to apply.

Speaking ahead of the event, Paula Murray, Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator at Empower, said:

“Next Thursday’s event is a brilliant opportunity for young people in Fingal to explore the learning and employment opportunities available to them, whether it’s an apprenticeship, a Post Leaving Certificate course, or a career in the public sector.

“The event is aimed primarily at post-primary school students but parents, guardians and members of the public with an interest in learning more about training and employment opportunities are welcome to attend in the afternoon from 2pm.”

The event is free, but attendees are asked to register in advance via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/restart-youth-careers-expo-tickets-296679304787
