We live at a time when planning for the future poses greater challenges than ever as people today must be ready to face many career shifts over their working lives.
Galway Technical Institute (GTI ) is dedicated to developing its students with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a future in these challenging times. All GTI courses are designed to be of immediate and practical use in the workplace or as a pathway to further study and higher education.
GTI provide the launch pad for learners to enter the workplace, start an apprenticeship or progress to further and higher education. A one-year full-time programme at GTI offers learners the breathing space to explore their future options whilst gaining valuable skills and qualifications. Check out www.gti.ie to view the extensive range of programmes for autumn 2022.
New for 2022 are a number of pre-university programmes geared towards providing learners with a foundation in Arts, Science, Engineering & Law prior to deciding on a three or four year degree course.
Applicants who successfully complete their course at GTI and achieve the necessary entry requirements can apply for over 250 reserved QQI places in NUIG. (www.cao.ie/www.nuig.ie ) Places are offered on a competitive basis and are open to holders of relevant QQI awards.
Other new courses include ITEC Diploma in Make-Up Artistry, Sports Science with Adventure Activities, Advanced Certificate in Management, Law & HR, as well as Pre-University courses in Arts, Science, Law & Engineering. Students can apply through CAO or at www.gti.ie
Principal, Geraldine Gibbons, feels that "for many students the leap from second level into the vastness of third level can be daunting even when a young person is sure of what it is they wish to study. More and more students are now taking an opportunity to explore all the options that are now available to them in the further education and training sector. Courses which provide a blend of work placements, practical and applied learning are capturing the attention of students and employers. Furthermore, Further Education courses qualify for SUSI grants and fees are a fraction of that in the Third Level sector. PLC courses are also the ideal pathway to a future career in many sectors such as the Accounting Technician Apprenticeship, currently running in GTI."
For those interested in gaining a qualification and commencing work, GTI offers courses in Beauty Therapy, Hairdressing, Animal Care–Dog Grooming, and new for 2022, Make-Up Artistry.
GTI welcomes applications from both school leavers and mature learners who wish to retrain or up skill. Visit the GTI website for full details of all courses. Applications can be made directly on GTI’s website at www.gti.ie
Make things happen for you at GTI in 2022.
