University of Galway Students’ Union has launched its Life Skills courses for the 2023/24 academic year.
The Students’ Union has been running a wide range of subsidised courses since 2009 for the 19,000 students of University of Galway with the aim of increasing their practical knowledge. These courses help to improve the employment prospects of students during and after college by boosting their CVs. The courses also teach them important life skills including how to save lives.
The courses on offer from the Students’ Union include Sign Language, Heart Saver AED training, mental health awareness courses, Gaeilge classes, disclosure training with Galway Rape Crisis Centre, financial resilience training, and suicide awareness.
“We are delighted to announce details of our Life Skills courses for the year ahead," said Students’ Union president Dean Kenny. "Whether it’s learning Sign Language or gaining the skills to administer CPR, all of these courses help to provide a well-rounded education for our students while also helping them to make their CVs stand out from the crowd when looking for jobs.”
University of Galway Students’ Union is a democratic organisation whose mission is “to represent its members and promote, defend and vindicate the rights of its members at all levels of society.”
