The recent TY Work Experience Programme at Sallynoggin College of Further Education, held in February and spanning four engaging days, was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on students from five local schools. This innovative program provided a  platform for Transition Year students to explore diverse career paths and gain valuable insights into the world of Further Education.

Interactive Sessions

Students actively participated in a variety of interactive taster sessions, led by experienced instructors and professionals. They had an opportunity to sample all of the courses on offer in SCFE.  For example, they explored the world of health, fitness, and exercise through an adapted physical activity skills session. Budding criminologists put their skills to the test in a CSI-themed crime scene investigation. The program also offered glimpses into the creative fields of art, floristry and fashion design and styling, as well as performing arts, when students witnessed a rehearsal of the upcoming show.

Additionally, a dedicated guidance counsellor session equipped students with crucial information on course progression, qualifications, and funding options.
