Gnó agus Gaeilge

About

Overview

Má tá grá agat don Ghaeilge agus suim agat sa ghnó, i dteicneolaíocht na faisnéise agus san fhiontraíocht, seo an bhunchéim duitse.

Níl aon chéim eile in Éirinn ar a múintear cúrsaí chomh sainiúil seo sa ghnó, sa bhainistíocht agus i dteicneolaíocht na faisnéise trí mheán na Gaeilge.

Tá nasc idir an clár seo agus fostóirí náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta a thugann tús áite do chéimithe a bhfuil sárscileanna gnó agus TF acu agus ar ceannairí nuálacha iad.

Beidh deis agat bliain a chaitheamh ar chlár INTRA agus taithí a fháil sa láthair oibre, nó dul ar aghaidh go dtí an bhliain dheireanach.

Gheobhaidh tú oideachas leathan acadúil agus praiticiúil atá in oiriúint don saol comhaimseartha gnó.

Cuirfidh Fiontar & Scoil na Gaeilge timpeallacht foghlama spreagúil chomhaimseartha ar fáil duit agus forbróidh tú an cumas ceannaireachta atá ionat.

Riachtanais Bhreise
Anuas ar ghnáthriachtanais iontrála na hOllscoile, caithfidh tú Grád O1 Gnáthleibhéal nó H4 Ardleibhéal a bheith agat sa Ghaeilge.
