The Careers and Employability Service is keen to work in close partnership with all faculties. This is the best way to ensure that students receive early and well-targeted careers information, advice and guidance, and can develop the skills and experience which will allow them to reach their career goals.

Live Projects
Would you like to incorporate an experiential learning component within your module? Would it be of value to your students to engage in a real-world project that solves a community or industry partner need? Project Live is an initiative that facilitates collaboration between external stakeholders, academics, and students. Academics are connected with stakeholders from across the community, public and private sectors who have a specific need that they would like Maynooth University students to work on. Academics work with stakeholders to create a student project within the module that addresses the identified need. This engaged learning experience aims to deliver real value to external partners, while enriching the curriculum and enhancing teaching and learning.
Project Live is not running for the 2023-24 Academic Year. We will update this page when it is back.
Employability Tools
The Careers and Employability Service have an array of asynchronous resources that academics can embed within their modules to equip their students with the necessary skills to realise their potential in the module and beyond. From bite-sized virtual work insights to upskilling in CVs and interviews, there is a suite of resources that could work for you and your students.
Get in contact with us today to learn more.
Careers Fairs and Events
The Careers and Employability Service partnered with the Faculty of Science and Engineering for a STEM Fair in October, 2023. This is a pilot event to identify the interest among students, staff and employers for these events. If your faculty are interested in hosting similar events in the upcoming academic year, please contact your faculty liaison.
