Thinking of Changing Course? 
You can find out about the range of courses available in Ireland by www.qualifax.ie. If you are looking to do a similar course but at a higher level at another college, you can apply as a direct applicant. Contact colleges directly. If you are looking to transfer to year one of course in any college, you will need to complete a CAO form on the website: www.cao.ie

Meeting with the Careers Officer

Please make an appointment to meet the Careers Office by emailing: careers@ittralee.ie

Preparation

Before your appointment, it is very beneficial to spend a little time performing a self assessment test and undertake some basic research. Think about yourself and your career. What motivates you and where you see yourself in five years.

Unsure of what you want to do?

If you are still unsure of what you want to do conduct a personality test, which is accessible on the WebCT careers site (at the bottom of the Self Assessment page). It would be advisable to also visit the careers officer.
