Atlantic TU’s New Service to Employers and Employees

ATU’s new Careers and Recognising Prior Learning (RPL) Learning Pathways project builds Lifelong Learning Participation with the HigherEd 4.0 Project.

The project offers a unique service to employees across the west and north-west region. It will be delivered through an online platform at www. mycareerpath.ie and an RPL information site at www.myexperience.ie

This new online MyCareerPath.ie platform involves engagement with employers and potential ATU students. The service advises candidates on the learning pathways available and appropriate to them, and how to achieve their career objectives or improve their employability.

All Learners are mentored through a 4-stage developmental programme with the help of the most up-to-date e-learning tools and assessments as well as support from Careers and Learning Pathways Advisers. Each Learning Pathway incorporates a process of self-discovery leading to the development of successful career plans as learners reflect and focus on their career goals.

The materials provided offer access to an innovative platform with customised e-learning content, psychometric assessment tools, a relevant structure and support for navigation of the current RPL process which will help in the identification of suitable courses. The platform is supported by CV review software and online interview software.

Mycareerpath.ie is being piloted with employees from different organisations in the region and over 50 individual learners are completing their learning pathways. Employers see this service as an important part of staff retention and an effective tool feeding into staff development and addressing their organisation's upskilling, reskilling, and CPD goals. Specific Learning Pathways are also being customised for specific industries.

Mycareerpath.ie is a FREE service that will help you streamline staff training and development to ensure your organisation meets its future skills needs
