Following work placement experiences provided by Inspiring the Future Ireland (ITFI), 30 fifth-class students from Scoil Chaitlín Maude presented their visions for the future before the Mayor at the school on May 30.

[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”15″][ultimate_heading alignment=”left” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:700″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:700;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:500″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:500;”]Marking the culmination of their work placement experiences, the final presentation followed earlier interventions at the South Dublin County Chamber and at Tymon Park.

A nonprofit organisation piloted by the South Dublin County Partnership (SDCP) in 2017 and national branch of the international service of the same name, Inspiring the Future Ireland connects primary and secondary students with volunteers across a network of industries.

This term, the organisation collaborated with Mayor Emma Murphy to arrange the Chaitlin Maude students’ engagement in an enlightening work placement with South Dublin County Council

(SDCC).[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1896″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1897″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1899″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading heading_tag=”h3″ alignment=”left” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:700″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:700;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:500″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:500;”]During this experience, the 30 youths received valuable insight into the local government’s operations and had the chance to develop their own perspectives on key issues presented on Tuesday.

At the 2.5 hour-long event, the students delivered their ideas about solutions for vital county issues such as the environment – including litter and recycling, marine preservation and air pollution – as well as homelessness, public transport and local facilities such as playgrounds.

During the initial intervention at the County Chamber, the students met with the Mayor alongside chamber staff from various council departments and learned about their roles in the community, how their work affects the community and how students can become involved.

During the second intervention at Tymon Park, the students met with one of the park’s expert SDCC wardens and learned about these individual’s essential impacts on their communities.

Earlier this year, Inspiring the Future arranged work placements at Leinster House for 15 students from St. Mark’s Community School, Tallaght Community School and Deansrath Community College, who similarly presented their futuristic solutions and ideas for a brighter future.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes or fail – these experiences can be valuable learning opportunities that help you grow and improve.

Have the Confidence to be You!

What you do today, tomorrow and every day after that will be how your life turns out.

Work hard on accepting and loving yourself.

I went back to college in 2019 and completed a Higher Diploma in IT Management in DCU. I hadn’t participated in any formal learning in over 16 years so it took a bit of time to get used to studying again. I graduated top of my class with a Distinction and it was a proud moment to walk across the stage to receive my parchment with my family in the front row cheering me on.

My mother particularly encouraged us to study hard in school and go on to higher level education – we were the first generation in our extended family to go on to third level education and this is down to the opportunities that my parents created for us. It cannot have been easy to send four children away to university but their hard work and sacrifice meant that we were all able to follow our chosen career path.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][just_icon icon_type=”custom” icon_img=”id^1532|url^https://inspiringthefuture.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ITFI-DO-Not-Delete-5.png|caption^null|alt^null|title^ITFI – DO Not Delete (5)|description^null” img_width=”81″][ultimate_spacer][ultimate_spacer][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Inspiration for future generations” alignment=”left” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:500″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:500;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:300″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:300;” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:18px;”][/ultimate_heading][ultimate_spacer][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/6″][ultimate_spacer][vc_column_text]I never thought I would end up working in the bank – at school I wanted to be a solicitor and followed that career path, qualifying in 2006. Unfortunately in 2008 my role was made redundant due to the downturn in the economy at the time. This had a big impact on my life, particularly around my confidence as I felt that I was somehow to blame. I started in BofA in 2009, having been referred by a contact in the bank and have been very happily working here since then. Sometimes life won’t work out the way you plan, it is important to be resilient and seek other paths and avenues. 15 years later, I am thankful that my path took me to the door of Bank of America![/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1033″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
