I-Career was set up by Ger Colleran and the business operates in the education, academic, and employment sectors.
Education
I-Career works with students and their parents/guardians, helping to aid transition successfully from primary education into secondary education where a new way of learning and studying can bring challenges. The company also works with secondary schools, providing principals and teachers with help and support in the area of learning, study, and etiquette.
Academic
It works with students between the ages of 15 and 25, helping them transition from secondary into third level education where the choosing of the right career and correct education is paramount. The transition from second level education into third level education can be significant in a young person’s life, a new way of learning and studying brings its own challenges. Thoughts go from education to employment and the opportunities that await.
Employment
I-Career helps people to secure employment based on their third level education, natural talents and skills, and/or education to date. The transition from education and/or academia into the world of work and how to secure employment is a pivotal journey in these young people’s lives. The ultimate reward for a young person after education/academia is usually to use all the learnings to date to get a job, generate an income, and give something back. Through all this they realise their potential and make dreams and visions become reality.
