Withdrawal of Home Economics and Economics elective (CAO Code: AS004)

St. Angela’s College, Sligo

St. Angela’s College has taken the decision to withdraw its offering of the AS004

Home Economics and Economics elective through the CAO. However, the overall

number of places available on the BAPME programme will not be reduced and

student places that would have been allocated to the AS004 Home Economics and

Economics elective will now be allocated to alternative electives. This decision was

taken due to difficulties sourcing Economics teaching hours for our students on

School Placement coupled with limited employment opportunities for our Economics

graduates.

CAO applicants for the AS004 elective who are still interested in pursuing the BA

PME programme should consider applying for another elective through the CAO.

New MA in Social Justice and

Public Policy: Waterford IT Dr Sean Healy, Director of Social Justice Ireland, will launch the new MA in Social Justice and Public Policy on 14 March 2018 at 2:30 PM in the Tourism and Leisure Building Atrium, Cork Road campus, Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT).

6


In partnership with Social Justice Ireland, the School of Humanities at WIT will offer a new MA in Social Justice and Public Policy from September 2018.

Dr Healy, comments that “In a time of great social, cultural, and political flux in Irish life, this MA offers a well-recognised qualification which facilitates graduate’s personal and career development in Social Justice and Public Policy.”

The programme participants, he says, will “develop a variety of practical skills from communications to strategic management to critical analysis, which can be applied in both work and voluntary settings. Students will learn with a range of lecturers, both academics and practitioners, using case studies from Irish and International contexts.”

Paul Clogher, course leader and lecturer with WIT’s School of Humanities says the MA is particularly suitable for students seeking to promote a fairer society, including people from business, community, voluntary, social inclusion, environmental organisations, trade unions, public service and religious sectors.

“Drawing on research and teaching expertise in both the School of Humanities and Social Justice Ireland, the programme explores diverse areas such as social analysis and policy, human rights and theories of justice, and traditions of social justice,” he says.

A two-year part-time programme, the MA seeks to engage meaningfully in social change towards a more just and inclusive society, focusing on influencing public policy. At the heart of the programme is a view of the profound and inalienable dignity of the human person, which is enhanced through meaningful participation in relationships and community, protected through recognition of human rights, and realised through opportunities to develop inclusive relationships. The programme seeks to form graduates with a belief that this vision of a more inclusive world and just society is possible.

The MA is delivered part-time over two years, normally over seventeen evening and all-day sessions and two block weeks over two years in a Dublin city centre location.

“The programme runs in a convenient Dublin city centre location and allows participants to study and network with other students and professionals from a wide range of experiences and disciplines. It equally caters for a balance with work or other commitments. The MA is embedded in flexible self-directed learning with a contact time of approximately two days per month over 2 years,” adds Dr Healy.

Discover the Apprenticeship Route to an Accounting Technician’s Career

The Accounting Technician Apprenticeship, launched in September 2017, is an exciting and innovative new route to accountancy. Graduates of this programme will be fully qualified Accounting Technicians with two years solid work experience and a pathway open to become a fully qualified accountant. This is an alternative route to university studies for school leavers and mature students. Overview of the Accounting Technician Apprenticeship

Practical and fully funded programme that pays you a minimum of €17,797 as you work to achieve a Level 6 QQI Advanced Certificate Award over a two-year programme.Apprentices work four days a week with an employer in the industry practice or the public sector, and study one day a week in a participating college.Work placement allows you to get solid on the ground training where you can put your work into practice with mentor support.You graduate as a fully qualified Accounting Technician with two years’ work

13


experience.You have the option of further study and training as a fully qualified accountant. You will qualify for some exemptions on professional body accountancy exams such as ACCA and CPA.

So why choose this new path over the more traditional route?

No college fees.Earn money while you study.Gain work experience.Suits practical students who thrive when they put their learning into practice.Also offers you the opportunity to train to be a fully qualified accountant and offers exemptions from professional accountancy exams (as offered to graduates of most Level 8 Accountancy courses.) How does Accountancy Fare on the Labour Market?

Qualified and part qualified accountants are currently in-demand, particularly in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing and energy industries, as are accountants with experience in insolvency and forensics. There is also a steady demand for compliance and risk professionals. According to the National Skills Bulletin 2017 talent was sourced from abroad to fill accounting positions showing a real skills shortage in this area.

The future demand for business and financial skills is likely to be particularly affected by the impact of Brexit. On the one hand, numerous financial institutions are expanding their business or setting up in Ireland, including JP Morgan, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, with IDA announcing in July 2017 that they have secured deals with more than a dozen London-based banks and finance houses to move some of their operations to Dublin in preparation for Brexit42. On the other hand, a report by the Department of Finance (2016) states that insurance/financial services are one of the three services sectors considered to be the most exposed in terms of exports to the UK. As such, the overall impact on skills requirements in the financial sector is yet unclear.
