Careers Guidance Fair and Seminar to be held in Belfast
November 1, 2011
Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge in association with Coláiste Feirste and Forbairt Feirste will organise a careers guidance fair and jobs seminar in Belfast on Thursday 17th November 2011.
Coláiste Feirste and Forbairt Feirste have being hosting such large jobs fairs in the college in recent years and last years the fair link up the seminars for the first time ever and due to the success of the event both events they have combined forces once again this year.
The seminar will cater for secondary 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.
By linking the Fair and seminar students will get a great opportunity to sit in on one hours seminars and listen to guest speakers speak and then continue on and visit information stands.
Among the speakers will be the broadcaster Louise McCreesh who works with BBC Raidió Uladh. The talented footballer and Irish Medium Teacher Marke Harte fro Tyrone will give an insigh on how he used the Irish language to his advantage when choosing his career and the use of the language with his work with Campa Chormac and media. Ciarán Mac Giolla Bhéin who works as an Youth and Afterschools Officer will discuss his own experiences working with Foras na Gaeilge in Belfast.
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.
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.
