PATHWAYS

Education and Career Guidance Conference Pathways is designed to inform students about the further education, training, and employment opportunities available to them after leaving school, with a particular focus on students in the West of Ireland. This event is especially valuable for Leaving Certificate and Fifth Year students, as it offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with representatives from third-level colleges, universities, Education and Training Boards (ETBs), and some of the region’s leading employers. Following the resounding success of Pathways 2025, we are delighted to announce that Pathways will return on Tuesday, 10th November 2026 at the Galmont Hotel, Galway. Pathways 2026 will once again bring together leading universities, colleges, training organisations, and industry representatives to provide guidance, inspiration, and practical advice to students planning their next steps. This year's exhibitors include University of Galway, Trinity College Dublin, Ulster University, ESB Networks, Fidelity Investments. The full range of experts from across education and industry sectors exhibiting at Pathways 2026 can be seen here. Get your tickets here! Eventbrite booking is for individual ticket sales only.
