Employability School Status

 

Rathfriland High School has embarked on a process to achieve Employability Status. This important development ensures a comprehensive and coherent programme for Employability Education and involves all key stakeholders including local business.

 

All pupils are engaged in relevant activities through the formal timetabled curriculum and special events which focus on particular areas such as enterprise and entrepreneurship.

 

All staff contribute to the delivery of the Employability programme and a number have completed appropriate work placements to develop a broader understanding of the world of work.

 

At the core of this initiative lies the enhancement of pupils’ skills, knowledge and awareness of employment issues thus enabling them to proceed into further/higher education or directly into employment with greater confidence.
