Former Tralee VTOS student Trina Houlihan explains the effect doing a course has had on her life…

I left school after my inter cert and started working.  After 27 years I took voluntary redundancy and I wanted to improve my skills and employability opportunities.

VTOS was the perfect choice and I completed a business award.  It was through the encouragement of staff I gained the confidence to go on to IT Tralee and do two degree courses in Business & Travel & Tourism Management.

I now work in Kerry County Museum and am in my dream job.

• Tralee VTOS will hold an open information morning on Wednesday, August 29 from 10am to 1pm. Visitors can find out more about the courses on offer.
