Presentation to Sixth Years by Fergal Hartley

Many thanks to Fergal Hartley from Hartley People for taking the time to come in to the school today and giving a presentation to the Sixth Years. His presentation was extremely interesting and gave a good insight into current employment trends. Fergal then took the time to stay back afterwards to take individual questions from students in spite of his busy schedule so again many thanks to him for that.
