CareersPortal.ie will be travelling (virtually) throughout Ireland over the coming months to showcase our REACH+ Programme.

The REACH+ Career and College Preparation Programme is Ireland's most comprehensive, in-depth and multi-format careers programme available. Much more than any textbook, it is a complete, integrated, classroom learning environment that supports Students, Guidance Counsellors and Teachers of career related content, including TY, LCVP and LCA. The programme incorporates a Whole School Guidance approach unlike any other careers resource available.

It contains four key components:

• The REACH programme book
• The Students Online Career File & Portfolio
• Guidance Counsellor Administration, Resources and Lesson Plans
• The REACH+ Network Support and Training
