Ready Steady Work

Ready Steady Work is a short professional careers development course offered in MTU in partnership with DELL Technologies (Employer partner for 2021-22) by the Disability Support Service and Careers Service.
It is designed especially for Disability Support Service (DSS) students to build confidence and skills in applying for jobs and in performing at work placement or graduate interviews.
Students who attend 5 sessions of Ready Steady Work will be awarded a digital badge from MTU and DELL Technologies.
It has been nominated for a Cork Celebrates Lifelong Learning Award 2021 following the successful completion of the programme in 2020/21.

 

Joint Mentorship Programme

The MTU Joint Mentorship Programme is a student employer engagement initiative which aims to match current students with professionals (the majority of whom are graduates), from a wide range of sectors to exchange business experience, knowledge, expertise and career advice. The initiative aims to enhance connections between MTU students and alumni in relevant industries as well as encouraging and supporting engagement between the University and the alumni community. 

It is also endorsed by a number of professional associations for example, Cork Chamber, IBEC, and Network Ireland. 

The MTU Joint Mentorship Programme is in its tenth year and is a voluntary, extra-curricular activity for students.  It is facilitated by the Alumni Office and the Careers Service at MTU. A digital badge will be awarded for those whom take part in the JMP (along with completing an additional journal activity).
