The Benefits of RPL and Student Volunteering

📅 Starts: Webinar: The Benefits of RPL and Student Volunteering
Mon 18th May | 2026

This webinar will explore the relationship between Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and student volunteering, and will highlight how volunteering can support learners in identifying, demonstrating and valuing the knowledge, skills and competencies they develop through experience. The session will also introduce the work of the RPL in Higher Education Project and consider how student volunteering can contribute to broader conversations around access, participation and lifelong learning in higher education.

RPL Event as part of Cork's Lifelong Learning Festival: 'A Pathway to Higher Education for Adult Learners'

We’re delighted to be part of the 2026 Cork Lifelong Learning Festival with 'A Pathway to Higher Education for Adult Learners.'

Join Dr Ciara Staunton for a friendly, learner-centred information session on Recognition of Prior Learning and how it can support access, progression, and advanced entry to higher education.

This session is for adult and returning learners who have developed valuable learning through work, community involvement, caring responsibilities, training, or life experience, and want to explore how that learning may be recognised. All are welcome including those interested in learning more about pathways into higher education in a supportive and welcoming environment.
