Career Connections is a collection pre-recorded videos based on the three academic disciplines within Trinity College Dublin:
Students that appear in these videos are a part of Trinity Access Programmes. These students discuss subjects needed for entry into their college courses, alternative entry routes as well as career opportunities available to them upon completion of their degree. This video aims to encourage the participation of under-represented groups at higher education but also aims to raise awareness of degrees that don’t put you on a direct path to a certain career. For example: European Studies, Philosophy, Languages and many more!
College Connections is a webinar with student panelists from under-represented groups in further and higher education who share their journey to college and/or careers. You can watch the 2023 and 2022 webinars here.
The National Resource Hub is a searchable collection of open educational resources (OER) for teaching and learning from across the Irish higher education sector. Access it here.
