What's On

Students want an opportunity to see what a job entails, what's it like to do it everyday (the good parts and the bad parts), what it takes to get there and what the journey is... like. With this information in mind we will invite a representative from every single profession and trade in the country to work on something related to their job, in an allocated space at the event, here they will take questions from attendees, demonstrate to attendees what they do, and allow students to get a taste of what their work is really like.

Young Horizons brings together local children's charities and supportive companies and organisations to create awareness among children about jobs and careers. To date, yH have worked with Aer Lingus, RTE, Google, Simtech, The Ark, Croke Park, and the Defence Forces, with many more to come. Through their contacts they encourage kids to dream big and to reach beyond their circumstance with advice, support and imagination.

The main focus of our food workshop is to educate young people and teach them the basics around what it means to eat healthy. Our course gets fantastic results and it can be a very interactive and fun way to learn. The demonstrators will cook a variety of healthy, affordable and nutritious meals that a young person can easily practice in their own time, also perfect for students leaving home for the first time.

We are working with an active retirement group to bring some of the most awesome over 70 year olds to our event.
