The Leaving Certificate class of Desmond College and Gaelcholaiste Ui Chonba had the opportunity to visit the Higher Options Careers Conference in the RDS in Dublin on Friday 19th September. The Irish Times Higher Options Conference is the biggest of its kind on Ireland and for over two decades has been helping Irish students to make decisions about their study and career options. The conference offered students the unique opportunity to meet directly with representatives from universities, colleges and education institutions from Ireland, the UK, Europe and beyond. The Early start was worth it for the Desmond College students who came back to Newcastlewest with bag loads of information and enthusiasm for their future careers.
