School Liaison Office
The role of the Schools Liaison Office is recognised as being extremely important in DIT in meeting the needs of many Guidance Counsellors around the country who request visits from DIT in order to deliver talks to their students in the classroom and who value the personal delivery of such information to supplement what is already provided in hard copy and web based format. The presentation promotes all DIT programmes, together with information on CAO, Student Sports / Recreation and Support Services.
Guidance Counsellors can if they wish, request specific talks by individual college or school coordinators and many DIT staff from these areas also provide a valuable service in this regard.
Careers Fairs / Exhibitions are another important aspect of the role of the School Liaison Office and many of these take place during the day with some also taking place in the evenings. The evening events facilitate both the senior cycle students and also their parents and other non standard applicants who wish to attend without having to take time off school or work.
If you would like to avail of a class talk, please contact Joe directly (contact details listed below) ensuring you include the following information:
- Preferred Days and Times of Visit
- Name and Address of School
- Contact Name
- Contact Phone Number
Alternatively, school visits may be arranged by downloading and posting / faxing / emailing the School Visit Request Form.
