Alumni Breakfast
The Alumni Breakfast is a Pathways to the Professions collaboration between UCD Access and Lifelong Learning, UCD Careers and UCD Alumni Relations.
It is held on the morning of the UCD Internships Fair where employers promote summer internship opportunities.
The Breakfast event aims to support UCD Access students (students entering UCD via HEAR, DARE, Mature, QQI-FET, and part-time pathways) with an opportunity to meet and network with UCD graduates in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Students can ask questions and hear from UCD Alumni on their career experiences to date, the importance of doing an internship and how such experiences can enhance and build skills. There are tips on how to get the most from the internship fair and the job market and information on disclosing disabilities to employers or requesting extra supports.
‘It was a very warm and welcoming environment which allowed me to comfortably ask questions.’
