NCGE Collaboration
Action 4.A.1
Collaboration with the National Centre for
Guidance in Education (NCGE)
100 schools
In 2021 PPLI collaborated with the National Centre for Guidance in Education
(NCGE) on a ‘Work Experience Activity Pack’ which can be used by all guidance
counsellors and participated in their pilot project on TY work experience. Since
November 2021, over 100 schools have received hardcopies of the resource. The
Activity Pack gives students an opportunity to explore the role of languages in the
world of work.
They can try out some work-related language tasks, become more culturally aware,
learn and use work-related words and phrases in the chosen foreign language, and
reflect on the importance of language skills at work.
The Activity Pack can be downloaded from
the Languages Connect website at
languagesconnect.ie or hardcopies can be
ordered from PPLI.
PPLI Worked with An Chomhairle um
Oideachas Gaeltachta & Gaelscolaíochta
(COGG) to produce these resources as Gaeilge
