College Awareness Week – Pathways to Higher Education

College Awareness Week is a national event which aims to help students learn about the experiences they could have at college and the subjects they may want to study.

Many schools host a full timetable of events and activities for the week, or plan further activities around this time. All students can benefit from College Awareness week, but it’s particularly important for students who may not have considered further education before or may not know many people who have been to college.

There are many different options available to students who may wish to go to college by alternative routes:

HEAR – Higher Education Access Route: The Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) is an admissions scheme for Leaving Certificate students (under 23) whose economic or social background are underrepresented in higher education. Full details about HEAR including elligiblity criteria and how to apply, can be found on their website.

DARE – Disability Access Route: DARE is an admissions scheme for school-leavers whose disabilities have had a negative impact on their second level education. DARE offers reduced points places to school leavers who, as a result of having a disability, have experienced additional educational challenges in second level education. To be eligible for DARE, students must meet both the DARE Educational Impact criteria and DARE Evidence of Disability criteria. Find out more on the DARE website. 

Further Education and Training (FET) Access Route: Students who not have a Leaving Certificate, or did not get the points needed for a specific course, can go through the Further Education and Training (FET) entry route. To enter college this way, students will need to have been awarded a full Major QQI Award at a minimum level 5. This will require the completion of 8 minor awards. College courses may require specific minor awards within the Major Award. Each college has a set number of places reserved for FET students. For more information, visit the admissions pages of the university websites listed HERE.

Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) Courses: Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses are full-time courses for people who have finished second-level education and adults returning to education. PLC courses usually last 1-2 years and take place in local Education and Training Board (ETB) schools, colleges and education centres. They develop technical and practical skills for an industry-recognised qualification. They can also offer a way into higher education and can give the opportunity to try out a subject of interest. The course may also provide work-based experience. You can find a complete list of all the PLC courses available on Qualifax – the national learners’ database.

Ireland's Action Plan for Apprenticeships: 2021 – 2025

Ireland’s Action Plan for Apprenticeships 2021-2025 is a forward-looking plan that reflects the growing demand for apprenticeships in Ireland. As industries evolve and embrace new technologies, the need for skilled and adaptable professionals is on the rise. The action plan aims to expand the types of programmes available, and increase the number of apprenticeships to 10,000 per year by 2025.

What does this action plan mean for students interested in apprenticeships? More opportunities and more options. A lot of the programmes being developed give students an opportunity to earn a qualification while earning money, make valuable industry connections, and gain valuable, hands-on experience.

At AIB Future Sparks, we deeply value the significance of apprenticeships as a viable career pathway for students. To support and inform students considering this option, why not check out the following resources: 

Watch this insightful conversation with Mark Deegan, former Head of Apprenticeships at TU Dublin. In this video, Mark shares expert advice and insights with a student interested in pursuing an apprenticeship.

Did you know the United Nations and nations across the globe have committed to achieving 17 Global Goals as the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all?

Climate Action (SDG 13) is often the first goal people think of. However, there are 16 more ambitious goals to learn about and contribute to. This week and beyond, educators have a unique opportunity to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers and AIB Future Sparks resources can support schools along this journey.

Navigating Times of Transition

Welcome back to a new school year!

One of our core aims at AIB Future Sparks is to support young people through their key life transitions by equipping them with the skills and knowledge to be successful.

We know that the journey from primary to post primary education is just one of these exciting, yet uncertain, transitions for students. From adapting to a new social environment, meeting a larger and more diverse peer group, navigating the new academic environment, moving rooms, having a locker for the first time, managing time to effectively tackle new subjects etc., a lot happens and change isn’t always easy.

This is why, last week, AIB sent Freshers’ Packs to select schools across the country designed to help support 1st Years in this transition. Our Freshers’ Packs offer more than just goodies and educational materials; they are a bridge to help students (and their parents and teachers) navigate this new phase with confidence.

Registered teachers, why not access the digital Freshers’ Pack resources with your Teacher Account now?

 

And that’s not all. AIB Future Sparks has a variety of resources created by Guidance Counsellors and teachers to support the various other transitions of a student’s post primary journey.

• Check out the Moving Up To 2nd Year resources perfect for students at the beginning of 2nd Year or the end of 1st Year

• Access our Senior Cycle Goal Setting bundle, supporting students in 5th and 6th Year with their career goals

Global Recycling Day

Global Recycling Day was held on March 18th this year but it’s never too late to think about how we can help the planet!

Global Recycling Day recognises and celebrates the importance of recycling and the innovative ways we can process and create new products from what we have already used. This can be as simple as making sure we put suitable waste in the recycling bin rather than the general bin or by reusing products in new ways.

Did you know that thrifting is a type of recycling? Thrifting (buying and using pre-owned items) and donating your old clothes are two effective and easy ways to recycle and save money!

Sustainability is big on our agenda at AIB Future Sparks. Why not check out our Ezine on sustainability for more ideas on how you can be more environmentally friendly and hear from some brilliant sustainability contributors and social entrepreneurs including founder of online charity shop ‘Thrifity’ Rónán Ó Dálaigh and Aisling Byrne, founder of sustainable fashion app ‘Nuw’: AIB Future Sparks Ezine 2 Sustainability

What is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a way of learning a trade or skill, usually by working with experienced practitioners in the workplace. Apprenticeships can be full-time or part-time, and take between one and four years to complete, depending on the level of study. You will receive on-the-job training as well as classroom instruction.

Ireland has a long tradition of apprenticeships, with many Irish people having started their careers learning through this method. You can learn more about apprenticeships in Ireland in our AIB Future Sparks TV Series ‘Experts Explain’, where Mark Deegan, former Head of Apprenticeships in TUD, discusses the application process and what employers look for in apprentices.

Apprenticeships are a great way to get into a career that you enjoy through active, non-traditional learning. Some of the benefits include:

 

A chance to earn while you learn

Developing new skills and becoming more employable

The opportunity to gain recognised qualifications for free (or at low cost)

A chance to network with professionals in your chosen field

 

The Generation Apprenticeship Programme was launched in 2017 by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation (DBEI), in collaboration with the National Skills Authority (NSA) to encourage post primary school students to apply for apprenticeships. You can find out more on their website, apprenticeship.ie, or talk to your school’s guidance counsellor about apprenticeships today!

Wait a Sec, Double Check!

AIB launches new campaign on fraud awareness!

Did you know that according to a report published in November 2022, almost €45 million was stolen from people in Ireland through scams and frauds in the second half of 2021, a jump of 50% on the same period in the previous year.

 

What’s the difference between a fraud and a scam?

Basically, a scam is a trick that criminals use to get something from you that they can then use to their own advantage – mostly to take money from you. When a scam is successful it is considered fraud.

 

DO’s and DON’Ts to prevent being scammed or defrauded:

Odd as it might sound, the best thing to do first is DON’T do anything!

DON’T click on a link in a text message or email to make any kind of payment

DON’T give any of your online banking login details to anyone by text, email or over the phone

DON’T click through to a website from a link in a text message or email

DON’T be taken in by messages that claim to be URGENT – these are designed to make you panic and rush into doing something you shouldn’t

DON’T be fooled by texts, emails or websites that look genuine – criminals have ways to duplicate anything to make it look real

 

Not sure if a text or website is safe? Just think…

What are they asking you to do? Is it appropriate? Legitimate businesses, including AIB, will never ask for your banking details or passwords.

Are they putting you under pressure? Often scams will make you feel like something bad will happen if you don’t act quickly. It’s a red flag!

Is the link unusual? Does the link have any additional words, symbols or numbers? If it does, then there is a chance it is a fake link. Remember to always look for the padlock symbol and the ‘https’ in your browser’s address line; both of these together mean that the website is safe and secure.

 

If you do receive a text message that you think is a scam, please click here https://aib.ie/security-centre/contact-us/fraud-form to alert the AIB Team.

Would you like to learn more? Teachers can book your school a free ‘Stay Safe’ Fraud Awareness Presentation by emailing youth@aib.ie.

AIB's 6th Annual Sustainability Conference 'No Time to Waste'

Student Voices Heard at AIB Sustainability Conference!

Watch it Here!

 

 

Last month AIB held their 6^th annual conference on sustainability in line with climate finance week 2022. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘No Time to Waste’. Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, ecologist and UN Messenger of Peace opened the conference with the clear message that our choices, as consumers and citizens, impact our planet every day, and the importance of making wise and ethically decisions. The conference heard from an expert panel of food and drink producers and from a panel of Irish pioneers in sustainable business.

At AIB Future Sparks we are proud to champion student voices and encourage the inclusion of our youth in these important discussions. Our highlight of the conference was hearing from Flossie Donnelly, a climate activist, and Dublin student, who is in Transition Year. Flossie began her climate activism by organising beach clean ups to combat marine plastic waste. Her charity, Flossie and the Beach Cleaners, organise educational workshops for students in primary and post primary schools encouraging clean ups and positive climate change in schools. She believes that through education we can reverse the impacts we have on our planet. Flossie also warns of the dangers of greenwashing in marketing and how businesses are key in changing the tide against climate change.

As part of their commitment to become a NetZero business by 2030 AIB have begun the reforestation initiative. In partnership with Coillte AIB will plant a native Irish tree for every student account that is opened. The initiative launched in 2021 and will run for three years with the aim to plant over 90,000 trees.

You can listen to Flossie speak on the Pioneers Panel here: https://aib.ie/sustainability#conference2022

Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental Health and Wellbeing has been a topic of discussion in many classrooms around the country recently as October brings with it World Mental Health Day and Mental Health Awareness Week.

Teachers, why not use some of our AIB Future Sparks wellbeing resources to help introduce these themes to students and build emotional literacy and resilience skills?

Check out our AIB Future Sparks Ezine, ‘You and Your Mental Health’, which was developed to align with World Mental Health Day. This resource is designed to be shared directly with students to offer support to their wellbeing through resources and exercises on anxiety, meditation, mindfulness and much more.

16 Schools Awarded by AIB

Out of 585 Irish secondary schools registered with the AIB Future Sparks Programme this year, 16 schools have been recognised by AIB for their involvement in the Future Sparks Programme and their dedication to skills-based learning.

Each recognised school recently received an awards ceremony from AIB where they were awarded a plaque by their local AIB branch manager, to commemorate their participation. They were also rewarded with a native Irish tree which was planted on the grounds of their school during their ceremony. These trees will contribute to the bank’s commitment to plant 90,000 native Irish trees over the next three years on behalf of new AIB second-level student account holders.

AIB’s Chief People Officer, Geraldine Casey, said, “At AIB, we are delighted to play our part in supporting students and teachers with educational resources under this programme to guide skills development and preparedness for life beyond school and the world of work.”

Lifelong Skills Learning

“Students are leaving school without the sex education, digital skills, financial literacy and climate knowledge they need”, Further and Higher Education Minister Simon Harris told the Oireachtas Education Committee in November 2021.

More and more, we are hearing from educationalists, employers, politicians, parents and young people about how continually learning skills is increasingly important in the 21^st century.

The global Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) noted in their 2021 Skills Outlook Report that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of supporting people in learning throughout their lives and equipping them with solid skills that they can use at work and in society. This will allow both individuals and society to, not only survive, but thrive and reach their full potential.

Here at AIB Future Sparks, we also see the value of learning life skills every day. This is why we developed the Future Sparks Programme alongside our team of teachers to enhance this learning for secondary school students.

Students, check out our interactive and easy-to-use digital resources today to improve your skills in areas such as money management, looking after your wellbeing, digital skills, and more! Simply log in with your school’s access code (your teacher will have this) for instant access.

European Cybersecurity Month

Did you know October is also European Cybersecurity Month?

The European Cybersecurity Month (ECSM) is the European Union’s annual campaign dedicated to promoting cybersecurity among EU citizens and organisations, and to providing up-to-date online security information through awareness raising and sharing of good practices.

Here at AIB, we recognise the importance of being safe online, raising awareness of fraudulent activities, and doing what we can to protect our customers from financial fraud online. We see this as a key part of Financial Education and so, we are introducing our new Financial Education Interactive Presentations, ‘Stay Safe’, which will be rolled out to secondary schools across the country by our local AIB Branch Youth Champions over the coming weeks and months.

Teachers, if you would like to arrange one of these interactive presentations for your Junior or Senior Cycle class group, don’t hesitate to get in touch with your local AIB Branch.

Students, why not check out Episode 1 of the AIB Future Sparks Business Series in our Student Area? In this episode, Aric Dromi, one of the world’s most prominent futurists, talks to us about technology, change and the move towards an increasingly digital world!
