The National Centre for Guidance in Education (NCGE) will cease to operate from 1st September 2022.
The NCGE and its Management Committee, Léargas, the Department of Education, the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Solas and ETBI have been carrying out significant work since earlier this year to prepare for the reorganisation of guidance support. A Transitions Working Group and additional sub-groups have been meeting regularly to co-ordinate the reorganisation.

'Reimagining Work Experience' - Pilot Resources
The resources contained on this page are intended to support you as Guidance Counsellors and your students with regard to work experience.
These resources are purpose built for all TY, LCA and LCVP students for the 'Reimagining Work Experience' pilot
which is taking place in schools during academic year 2020-2021. The resources are provided here in a particular order (units 1-8)
in line with the stages of work experience (preparing, participating and reflecting on the experience). Guidance Counsellors are free to utilise
the resources in any order as best suits the needs of their school.
- The most recent 15 resources uploaded (accross all units) are displayed below
- Select the required 'unit' and press GO to display ALL content for that unit ONLY
- If you know the title / general description of the resource you are looking for, type into the 'Keyword' search box and press GO
At the current time, as no Irish Schools volunteered to take part in the pilot, the resources are available in English only.
However, the final versions of the resources will be provided in Irish to as great an extent as possible.
If you have any queries about these resources please e-mail: ncgeinfo@ncge.ie
