“Within our dreams and aspirations, we find our opportunities” - Sugar Ray Leonard
The Aspire Project aims to support people in South County Dublin to explore their aspirations and discover the pathways they can take to achieve them through our fun, free, innovative programmes, activities and events.
Leading programmes in career education we aim to connect role models in our community from all sectors of employment with children and young people to provide them with real sources of inspiration.
Through our campaigns we aim to encourage children, young people and adults to consider their career pathway whether through apprenticeships or traineeships, university access visits for those continuing or thinking of returning to education, to explore their aspirations and support them to discover the pathways they can take to achieve them.
Introducing programmes in digital literacy, tech tasters, STEM activities and events we aim to support people of all ages in South County Dublin to be confident in using tech in day to day life.
Doing the programme took away that fear for me and gave me confidence.

I enjoyed hearing about peoples journeys & what they did before their current job because it shows you don't need to choose immediately.

Best bit - Engaging with the 6th class pupils. They are a lovely bunch and asked some really good questions.

My favourite part of the placement was meeting people who work in the establishment and learn what it’s like to work there.
