HIGHER EDUCATION VISITORS AT CCN

Speaker from Waterford Institute of Technology

Claire Holden, the School Liaison Officer from WIT recently visited the school to speak to 6th year students and PLC students about the range of courses available in the college.  She also covered topics such as entry requirements, career opportunities and points as well as outlining the wide range of facilities available in the college.  She offered some great advice on the best way for students to make the most of their college experience as well as some practical advice regarding issues such as accommodation.  There was great interest in the presentation and many students stayed behind to ask more specific questions.  The presentation was very interesting and informative and we were delighted to have Claire visit us once again.
