Language opportunities Seminar to be held in Belfast
October 5, 2010
Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge in association with Comhar na Múinteoirí Gaeilge will organise a seminar in Coláiste Feirste in Belfast on Thursday 7th October 2010 which will focus on the advantages of Irish language skills for graduates entering the workforce for the first time.
The seminar will cater for second level students in Northern Ireland. ‘The Added Advantage of Irish’ is the theme of the seminar, and well-known personalities will speak on the advantages which the Irish language has afforded them in their chosen careers.
Among the speakers will be the journalist/broadcaster Tomaí Ó Conghaile from Newry.
Ursula Uí Dhonnaile will discuss her own experiences in her role as Irish Language Officer with Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council and Cookstown District Council.
The talented footballer and Irish Medium Teacher Conall Ó Máirtín will give an insight into how he used the Irish language to his advantage when choosing his career and the use of the language with his work with Campa Chormaic and Irish colleges in Donegal.
The event is expected to be both interesting and inspirational and it is hoped that it will motivate students to consider the Irish language when choosing their career paths.
Over the past two years Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge have held similar seminars in Killarney, Dublin Galway, Cork, Castlebar and these seminars proved to be a great success and this is why they combined forces with Comhar na Múinteoirí Gaeilge to organise this, and other seminars will be taking place in Letterkenny, Dublin and Tullamore in the coming weeks.
Throughout the seminar students will have a chance to ask questions of the speakers, and to take part in what promises to be a lively debate.
A senior lecturer from St Mary’s University College in Belfast will be present to speak about the third level opportunities available to those wishing to pursue their education through the medium of Irish.
A large selection information stands will be present at the Careers Guidance Fair which is organised by Forbairt Feirste in conjunction with Coláiste Feirste. Pupils and visitors alike will have a wonderful opportunity to visit all the display stands on the day.
