What do an Architect, a Dog Groomer, a Web Designer and a Journalist have in common? The answer is they will all be self employed early on in their careers. Our workshop about Self Employment As A Career & The New World Of Work informs TY students about what is involved is setting up a business or working as a freelancer. Forty percent of the workforce fit into this category so it is something we all should know about. The Workshop is delivered by an experienced entrepreneur Cairín O'Connor and she tells TY students how they can make money by turning a hobby into a full or part time business. 'I want to inform and inspire TY students across Ireland and I hope they will learn a few things this year that they normally learn during work experience.' Cairín is part of Google Ireland's recent campaign to help 60,000 small businesses across Ireland.
