New Career Advisory Panel Announced
Understanding what career options are out there, getting an initial foot on the career ladder and working out your next career move are important considerations for all of us. Blackrock College RFC wants to help its players navigate these challenging areas and ensure that the benefit of experience and extensive networks can be passed from one generation to the next.
The club’s Career Advisory Panel (Panel) has been assembled to provide career advice and networking opportunities for existing players of all levels. The Panel comprises people with a close connection to the club drawn from a wide range of different backgrounds. We have tried to cover an array of professional services, industries and trades and where we don’t have a representative from a particular sector on the Panel, we can still access the relevant people.
Members of the Panel will present in-person to teams across the club and can be contacted at: careers@blackrockcollegerfc.ie. We are here to help and will go out of our way to answer questions, provide advice and make any connections that we can.
