Career Placement Service
We have offered a Careers Placement Service for many years. Our
Administration and Office Skills graduates in particular, are much sought
after in Cork and will often find employment in professional practices with
doctors, solicitors and accountants, as well as the financial services sector.
In recent years, we have extended the Placement Service to other courses
including Accountancy and Business Studies.
Student Information
We also arrange an induction for all new students. These inductions
will introduce you to key staff members and make you aware of student
services. Additionally, lecturers will present you with an overview of your
chosen course. Student handbooks will be issued during induction week. It will
guide you through everything from lecture room locations to College
regulations. The College intranet offers information and guidelines required
by students, staff and lecturers. Students can log onto the system – either
from home or from one of the College network points – and access lecture
notes, examination material, library resources along with a host of additional
information to make student life easier.
