IGC President, Catríona Rodgers

As President of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC), I am delighted to share the news that IGC is an education partner of Worldskills Ireland 2025 for the second year in a row. This exciting event promises to be a dynamic and inspiring experience, where learners can meet competitors, explore a wide range of career opportunities, and engage meaningfully with a variety of exhibitors.
Skills-based careers and apprenticeship pathways provide accessible and rewarding options for all learners to discover their future direction, and build fulfilling careers. At a time when the national skills shortage is a growing concern, Worldskills Ireland offers a powerful, first-hand demonstration of the value of apprenticeships and the importance of developing skills that are transferable, transversal, and empowering.
The IGC is delighted to once again be the education partner for Worldskills and we look forward to seeing you there.
– Catríona Rodgers, President of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC)
