Media Attention for Career LEAP Program
November 18, 2017
On Thursday November 9th 2017, we had the official launch of the second part of the Career LEAP program. I am working on this project together with Carmel O'Sullivan (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) and Jennifer Symonds (University College Dublin, Ireland), and the main aim is to help prepare young unemployed (NEET) individuals for a future job and career. We have developed the Career LEAP intervention in 2016 and have further refined it in 2017, based on the scientific literature on, for example, career competencies and career preparedness. The program is funded by the Irish government and has received national media attention. Some examples are:
The Irish Times: High Hopes
