The energy was electric in Rathmines College on **Thursday, 22nd January**, as we hosted our annual Careers Day. For our students, it was a fantastic opportunity to engage in meaningful, face-to-face conversations with industry leaders.
The hall was buzzing with professionals from a diverse range of sectors, reflecting the broad ambitions of our student body. Students explored pathways in:
* **Hospitality & Media**
* **Law & Medical**
* **Finance & Professional Accounting**
* **The Defence Forces**
These interactions offered more than just information; employers arrived ready to scout for talent, offering **immediate job openings, internships, and invaluable career planning advice.**
### **Insights from the Experts**
Starting at 10:30 am, Room 9 became a hub of professional insight. We were privileged to host guest speakers from global leaders **Allianz**, communication experts **Walsh P.R.**, and the professional accounting body **ACCA**. They delivered a series of focused talks on graduate opportunities, explaining exactly what top-tier organisations look for in new hires today.
The takeaway from the day was clear: the transition from college to the workplace is built on connections. Being able to look an employer in the eye and ask questions is an advantage that no website can replace.
A huge thank you to all the organisations and students who made the day such a success. The future looks very bright indeed!
