Education and Training Expo to return to Mayo

Senior cycle and pre-senior cycle students, along with their families, are invited to attend the free Education and Training Expo.

Set to take place at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence Air Dome in Bekan on Wednesday, November 27, offering students and their families a unique chance to explore a wide array of educational and career options.

As with previous years, there will be a large number of stands to reflect the wide range of options available to students after post-primary level, including universities, further education and training options as well as the vast number of apprenticeships available.

“This year's Education and Training Expo is designed to open doors to opportunities that students and mature learners may not have considered,” said Pat Howley, Chairperson of the Mayo Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) Education & Training Working Group.

He added: “We want to empower attendees with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their future pathways.”

The Education and Training Expo is dedicated to providing crucial information to students and their families regarding the variety of post-secondary options available to them. Whether they are interested in continuing their education at a university, exploring further education, or considering alternative career paths, the fair offers valuable resources and guidance. 

“We will once again have a diverse range of exhibitors, including many top universities, colleges, and further education institutes.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for students to ask questions directly to representatives and gain insights into their future options,” Mr Howley continued. 

Students from second level schools, their parents, teachers, and guidance counsellors, from both Mayo county and surrounding areas, are encouraged to attend the event.
