Education Matters
When I was in secondary school, I was lucky enough to have known where and what I wanted to study in college. For most people this is a challenge and can be quite daunting especially when you’re sitting your Leaving Cert, this is what inspired me to create this documentary. As I am in my final year of college, I thought it would be a good idea to share knowledge and give insight to people who are currently sitting there Leaving Cert or filling out the CAOs on what college is really like, as well as the different routes you can take instead of going straight to college. In this documentary, I was lucky enough to film two interviews. Both interviewees have set up their own business after finishing their college degree, both interviewees also have gone back to college to further their education and skills for their business. In this documentary, I have asked the interviewees a series of questions to investigate if they enjoyed their college experience and if they would choose the same route again or would they choose to do a post leaving cert course or an apprenticeship. This documentary is specially made for people who are in secondary school who are sitting their Leaving Cert. I hope that this documentary will inspire them to further their education and to find out if college is suitable for them.
