Clonmel Credit Union Launches Transition Year Horizons Programme

Clonmel Credit Union has announced the launch of an exciting new initiative for Transition Year students, designed to give young people a unique insight into the world of business and finance.

The new Horizons Programme will see selected TY students work alongside professionals in Clonmel Credit Union, gaining first-hand experience in areas such as teamwork, finance, marketing, and public relations.

Through Horizons, students will have the chance to:

• Work closely with Clonmel Credit Union staff and learn directly from industry professionals.

• Develop essential communication, presentation, and teamwork skills.

• Gain valuable experience working in the CCU boardroom.

• Collaborate with fellow TY students from other local schools.

• Represent Clonmel Credit Union by engaging and recruiting their peers.

Speaking about the launch, Clonmel Credit Union said the programme represents a rare and rewarding opportunity for young people to build practical skills that will benefit them long into the future.

Horizons not only provides students with hands-on professional experience but also strengthens links between schools, the Credit Union, and the wider community.
