Transition Year Internship Programme with Abbott
A group of our Transition Year students will be participating in an exciting Internship Progrmame with Abbot Ireland starting on March 21st in their Cherrywood facility.
St.Laurence College welcomed, Daragh Fallon, Aidan Desmond and Grace Winters from Abbott Pharmaceuticals Cherrywood to talk to the TY group.
As part of this amazing opportunity the students will spend the two weeks covering many aspects of the business. Here they will learn about Abbott’s operations and in particular, they will learn about the roles in our Financial and IT Hubs, and see first-hand the impact those roles have.
The programme also covers the following areas:
- Gain exposure to, and an understanding of STEM jobs
- Form relationships with mentors, leaders and role models in STEM fields
- Bolster confidence in STEM and belief they can pursue a STEM career
- Grow and develop a professional network at an early age
- Make a connection between academics, the workplace and real-world applications
- Develop technical and employability skills to help them succeed in school and the workplace
Stay tuned for more information and feedback from the students later this term.
