Update on Days 1 & 2
College & Careers Week at St Kilian’s CS has got off to a great start. A number of past pupils returned to St Kilian’s to share their career stories. Oran O'Toole kicked off the week with an excellent talk on his role as an advanced paramedic in the fire brigade and emergency services. @Brian Devlin and Dr. @Daniel Crean both work in the biomedical field and shared their journeys from St Kilians to careers in radiography and biomedical research respectively. Mikolaj Piotrowski also a past pupil shared his experience of the Trinity Access Program, studying for an engineering degree and his current role as a process engineer at Intel Corporation.
The local Colleges of Further Education are also big supporters of our careers week and I would like to thank Stephen Murphy and
LucyTierney for their very interesting presentations on the fitness and beauty programs at Sallynoggin College of Further Education. A special thanks also to Paul Cruise for his comprehensive talk on a broad range of apprenticeships from construction to catering and IT to Retail and Accounting offered by KWETB.

Students heard of the multiple entry routes into career as a solicitor, barrister and judge, how to transition to a career in education and the importance of following your passion. . And last but not least, thank you to Michael Conlon for his very informative presentation on careers in engineering Technological University Dublin.
