The final session of the BiTC & IAPI World of Work programme was the ‘Wrap Up Celebration'. As the name suggests, it is a celebration of the successful completion of the programme for all the participants from Holy Child CS.
The wrap up is an opportunity for the students to showcase what they learned from the programme and acknowledge the contributions of everyone involved.
We were delighted with the contributions we received from the IAPI membership during this initiative. Without individual agency help we could not deliver such a strong programme for the students involved.
"I’m sure the students had a great time and what a unique experience for them to see some of the exciting career pathways within the industry." Alison Norman, Regional Co-ordinator, BiTC.
The program comprised of five separate school engagements themed around creativity, sustainability, career paths, site visits and soft skills that need to be developed at this early stage for a successful career path.
“Holy Child Community School has worked in collaboration with IAPI/BITC over the last two years through the Mentoring and the World of Work programmes. Students have already chosen to study third level courses and further ed courses around advertising, media studies, illustration, and animation inspired by the mentoring programme.
These 2nd year students are currently on the World of Work programme and have already worked with experts within industry which will assist students in establishing targets and goals to work towards.” Owen McGowan, Guidance Counsellor, Holy Child Community School.
The World of Work programme is just one of several initiatives we have rolled out to bring further awareness of the Creative Commercial Communications sector to students who may not be aware of the opportunities provided by our sector.
