Our 5th Year LCVP students had an incredible opportunity to visit General Motors (GM) in Limerick, thanks to the support of Junior Achievement Ireland. GM volunteers engaged with small groups, exploring various careers and discussing the essential skills, qualities, and values needed in the workplace. The highlight of the visit was learning about self-driving vehicles, which was truly eye-opening for everyone, also listening to the different routes  taken by various employees to reach their desired destination of coding in GM. A big thank you to General Motors and Junior Achievement Ireland for this enriching experience. Ms O Keeffe and Ms Corcoran were extremely impressed with the 100% engagement throughout the morning.
