With 21 weeks to the first Leaving Cert exam of 2020, parents and leaving cert students are encouraged to attend to hear The Study Coach, Dr Sean Lally, tell Leaving Cert Students how to study effectively, maximise the outcomes of your effort, increase focus and learn efficiently. Of benefit to all students looking to sit Leaving Cert exams later this year. Whether well prepared or just getting to grips with the vast curriculum that is to be examined, Dr Lally will share a study timetable and solid tips that will maximise your effort. “A study session can be as little as 5 minutes, learning and revision can take place anywhere” says the study expert.
Launching the event, Marketing & Student Recruitment Manager, Rosie Gilleece said the employment landscape is changing and students need to consider new career paths; “Jobs are changing, the skills employers need graduates to have are also changing and IT Sligo is at the forefront of offering degree courses that prepare graduates for life and work. IT Sligo offers applied learning not just academic knowledge. IT Sligo has one of the highest employability rates of all third-level universities. This is due to our deep connection with industries who offer work placements to our students, making them work ready. With the CAO deadline on the 1st of February this is a great opportunity to get all your information on applying to university.”
