RE: Invitation to Careers Exploration Evening Thursday 14th November 2024
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
We wish to invite you and your child to a Careers Exploration Evening on Thursday 14th November 2024 in the Gym of Drogheda Institute of Further Education (DIFE), Drogheda, between 7.00pm and 8.30pm. This is an annual event that is organised and run by the School Guidance Counsellors in the Drogheda area. The participating schools are Ballymakenny College, Our Lady’s College Greenhills, Sacred Heart School, St. Oliver’s C.C, St. Mary’s D.S., St. Joseph’s and Drogheda Educate Together.
The purpose of the event is to provide current 5th and 6th year students with the opportunity to discuss course and career choices with representatives from over 50 career areas. This year, we hope to welcome professionals from the areas of engineering, nursing, computing, Garda, Defence Forces, Dentistry, Law, Beauty, Business among others. Students will be able to informally discuss the day-to-day jobs of these professionals, the entry routes to the professions. Colleges and universities will also be in attendance such as DCU, DKIT and Maynooth University. Guidance Counsellors will be available to answer any queries from parents/guardians and/or students.
This event is of utmost importance to students as it enables them to embark upon the path of career planning in an informed way. We would appreciate if both you and your child could attend the evening. All students who wish to attend must wear the school uniform.
We look forward to meeting you on the night.
Kindest Regards,
Trish O’Reilly & Nicola McEvoy
Ballymakenny College Guidance Counsellors
