WORK PLACEMENT

GROUPS 2 & 5

Work Placements are often the highlight of TY for any student. These placements aim to prepare TYs for the role of the working adult, giving them job experience.

This Activity Week marks the fifth Work Placement taking place throughout the year. It was each TY’s responsibility to organise these for themselves. All TYs taking Work Placement will take place from Monday - Friday.

For the remainder of the week the students will attend the Criminal Courts of Justice. The students will be finished in time to return to the school (or home) by 3:30pm. It is recommended students have a good breakfast, as there will be no ‘little break’ prior to lunch (around 1 o’clock).

On the first day of the course (Monday), the team will meet the students at The Ashling Hotel, Parkgate Street, Dublin 8, at 10 a.m. There will be signs to the room under “Colm MacCarvill”.
