Borris' students work towards construction careers

Students from Borrisokane Community College successfully completed their Safe Pass training with the Construction Industry Federation and SOLAS recently.

Safe Pass is the national mandatory safety training for the construction industry and students from the college undertook the training as part of their Transition Year cycle.

Dermot Carey, Director, Safety & Training at CIF, congratulated the students and wished them well over the coming year. “Congratulations to the students of Borrisokane Community College on completing their Safe Pass training. Ms Orla Cunningham and the school must be commended for giving their students every opportunity to develop their skills and their career options.”

The students from Tipperary and others across Ireland are undertaking Safe Pass training with Construction Industry Federation as part of Transition Year, Leaving Cert and Leaving Cert Applied courses in schools this year.

The initiative is part of the CIF’s Careers Campaign to support students interested in a career in the construction industry.

“Across Ireland from civil engineers, architects, site managers to work experience labourers, Safe Pass is what we all have in common and it is the gateway to some great career options for the future. I hope Borrisokane Community College enjoyed the training and learned a lot,” said Dermot Carey, Construction Industry Federation.
