Career development and investigation is vocational in nature and is introduced at Junior Cycle through focused Wellbeing modules and is mainly concentrated at Senior Cycle through timetabled career classes amongst a range of whole school initiatives
It involves empowering students to recognise their talents and abilities so as to enable them to make informed choices and take responsibility for their own futures.
Programmes such as TY and LCA have a dedicated vocational element timetabled within their respective programmes.
