Engaged in partnership talks with unique school leaving age cohort providers (e.g. the Cork Life Centre; the XLC Project in Waterford) with respect to the potential development of research opportunities and/or UCC modules (from FET programmes I am co-developing with ACE and from work being done in CRTL) that may provide tailored research network and CPD opportunities (particularly in the area of Youth reach) for aspiring and practising teachers in unique community settings (the new programmes we are developing may also feed into newly anticipated apprenticeship degree programmes)
