Whether it’s with your study or career plans our mission is to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.
At Study and Careers we are fascinated by learning and how people learn. We love observing learners – be they children, students or mature learners – unlock the magic of learning for themselves. The overall aim of our ‘Switching on for Learning’ courses is to enable you the learner to become an independent learner and to make learning easier so you can take charge of your own learning.
With Career Guidance our intention is to enable you to unlock your future options, to explore career areas that will suit you, so you can pursue a career path that will fulfil you. We coach you with that end in mind.
• Identifying your needs and enabling you to put a plan in place to meet them.

Research indicates that for students to learn effectively they need to be motivated, to manage time and to have good learning techniques. We agree but first they need to get to know themselves as learners, their needs and what works best for them.
Each of our courses address your students’ needs at the stage they are at. They combine a range of self-management strategies and study skills to help your students to experience success.
Our new Online Course Switching on for Learning: Becoming an Independent Learner offers you a unique way to develop as a learner, to progress in your own time and to dip into the various modules as you need them.
With students from 1st year to Leaving Cert, it is hugely meaningful to visit the subject of dreams, life purpose and lifestyles, in an incremental way. Students gain motivation and benefit immensely from knowing the rewards for their work and effort and the contribution they can make to the world.
Vital too to share real life case stories to make the subject meaningful for students. The ‘Matching Personality to Career Choice’ course addresses these concerns and more.
Writing is a craft – a craft that can be learned with the right tuition.
An essential skill that many struggle with, writing has many lifelong benefits that will help your students both personally and professionally. Our courses will help your students find their voice.
Further to discussion with parents and/or teachers and the learner, Study & Careers carefully selects tests and assessments based on the needs of the child/young person.
