Help us introduce our Sector to a rich source of untapped potential future talent. We are looking to secure high quality work-experience placements for TY & LCA students from 6 DEIS Schools in the coming school year.

The North East Inner City (NEIC) Initiative is a social regeneration initiative endorsed by Government involving local communities charged with creating opportunities to bring about lasting, positive change in the area. Join Keith O’Connor, Olive Ojo NEIC Project Manager, Ellie Bradshaw Business & Operations Manager - Verve and Kieran Killeen, Managing Director - Marketing Network, for this informative chat.

We will discuss how Work Experience has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of young people. Often, work placements can reflect and reproduce patterns of inequality with working class students getting working class placements and middle-class pupils experiencing the benefits of “professional placements”. The NEIC work experience placement programme is a conscious effort to combat this trend and is one strand in a coordinated effort to open opportunities, raise awareness and aspirations and ultimately to provide students in Dublin 1 schools with access to and insight into professions and career paths outside their existing network.
