The Leinster School of Music and Drama’s Effective Communication Programme for Schools is suitable for students over the age of 15 years. Through this programme Transition Year and Leaving Certificate Applied students learn how to prepare for the working world by developing their communication skills; gaining experience being interviewed, delivering a talk and reading, and writing a letter of application and CV. Students should prepare over a 10-week period and are then given the opportunity to sit a 20-minute interview (in-person or online) for a hypothetical role of their choice with an examiner from the LSMD. The students are awarded a certificate of completion. For more information, visit lsmd.ie or email [email protected].
