GMIT Careers Counsellor Michelle Kerins O’Brien says this year’s programme is more extensive than previous years:  “We will have a number of workshops taking place throughout the morning on topics such as 'International Voluntary Work', 'Tips on Advancing Your Career Whilst in College', 'Teaching in the UK', and 'IT Sales'.

“It really is a great opportunity for our final year students, graduates and members of the public to learn about new and emerging trends in careers, and the areas where demand is growing for graduates such as the ICT and Finance sectors.”
