Social Care graduate Colm Healy’s first day in CIT was a momentous occasion. Having overcome significant challenges including homelessness and low self-esteem, entering third-level education was both a huge achievement and a nerve-wracking experience. In this slightly longer episode of The Alumni Podcast Series, Colm shares his inspiring story with us. 

In his role with EM3, Ireland's leading industrial energy services business, Sustainable Energy Engineering graduate Paul Murphy has a front row seat to witness industrial climate action. Paul sat down with us (from a safe social distance) on campus in CIT to discuss climate change, what we're learning from Covid-19, and the future of energy management. 

On the first episode of The Alumni Podcast Series, we're joined by Early Education graduate and founder of TeachKloud, Wendy Oke. Strong in her belief that early education can change lives, Wendy is helping teachers and carers in early education settings manage every aspect of their business with TeachKloud, allowing teachers to focus on the children in their care. Join us to hear Wendy discussing her journey from the Leaving Cert to a PhD, sharing her expertise on early education, and offering some insights on speaking to children about Covid-19. 

Introducing The Alumni Podcast Series! This short series, hosted by two recent CIT graduates, was created to reconnect alumni to their alma mater, share expertise, and celebrate successes. We had talented alumni from various fields of study join us to discuss everything from career progression and college courses, to climate change and the future of work.  If you enjoy the series, let us know!
