This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.

Social

The Social person's interests focus on interacting with the people in their environment. In all cases, the Social person enjoys the personal contact with other people in preference to the impersonal dealings with things, data and ideas found in other groups.

Many will seek out positions where there is direct contact with the public in some advisory role, whether a receptionist or a counsellor. Social people are motivated by an interest in different types of people and like diversity in their work environments. Many are drawn towards careers in the caring professions and social welfare area, whilst others prefer teaching and other 'informing' roles.

With a Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Early Education and Care, there is focus on the education and the learning aspects of early childhood and care. This means our graduates can access a range of professional career opportunities including working in early childhood settings such as crèches, nurseries, playgroups, pre-schools, and also primary schools.

Students may apply to progress to the MA in Leadership and Advocacy in Early Childhood in ATU Sligo or other opportunities in the wider ATU. Students also have the opportunity to apply to undertake post-graduate awards in Primary Education, Social Work, Community Development and many other fields.
