Organised by Head of Employability and Citizenship Mrs Sinead McNicholl and Head of Careers Miss Maria Flannelly, the workshop was tailored to fit in with the Year 9 Employability programme followed by the students.

Ben Best of Tree of Knowledge NI, using his new, innovative enterprise training resource – the APODO, spent the half-day session working through a number of group activities and plenary sessions with the Year 9 students.

Mrs Sinead McNicholl, who co-ordinated the workshop, paid tribute to the Causeway Enterprise Agency staff for their inspiring work with the students, and congratulated pupils on their participation in a very useful learning activity.

She said: “It really was rewarding to watch and observe the pupils’ reaction to the APODO as a learning resource, and it was clearly evident that the pupils were more empowered to approach skills such as problem solving, team-work and decision making with increased confidence and enthusiasm.”
