CLONAKILTY Agricultural College is hosting an open day this Friday, March 7th for all those interested in learning more about the courses and facilities available for prospective students.
The college is one of many across the country that will open their doors to prospective applicants to full-time Level 5 agriculture, horticulture, equine and forestry courses. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the courses available, and get a chance to meet teaching staff, educational experts, current students and potential employers of course graduates. Prospective students, their parents and guardians, will also be given a guided tour of the excellent facilities in each location.
Head of education at Teagasc, Dr Anne Marie Butler invited all prospective students, their families and career guidance teachers to visit: ‘These open days are a great opportunity to find out if a career in agriculture, horticulture, forestry or equine suits you. ‘All my colleagues will be available at the events to show you around our campuses and talk to you about our student experiences and what you can expect to learn and enjoy on the different courses.’
