Junior Achievement Ireland is a non-profit organisation which helps large numbers of students each year. They empower young people to realise their potential by valuing education and understanding how to succeed in the world of work.
The Junior Achievement programmes are facilitated by business volunteers who encourage young people to develop the skills they need to succeed in a changing world.
They bring the world of work into the classroom, by providing hands-on practical learning experiences in employability, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and the value of STEM. This year Junior Achievement Ireland set our school up with Fiserv.
Samantha Neary and Brian Fogarty from Fiserv Nenagh provided a blended learning model consisting of 4 hours training with the 5th year LCVP on career success. The students really enjoyed the training and gained real life experiences which will assist them going forward.
Caroline Casey from Fiserv Clonskeagh also provided 3rd year Business Students with a very insightful talk on different careers in computer science. This inspired our students and gave them ideas for their future. Ms O Keeffe was extremely grateful for such an insight into life in the real world.
Anna Marie Ryan from Fiserv will deliver a 4 hour financial literacy programme to 6th years in the coming weeks.
