“Youth Work and Addiction Studies has opened my eyes to so many different careers. I loved every module on the course and I made best friends for life! If it wasn’t for Ormonde College I wouldn’t be going on to the career I am greatly interested in. My co-ordinator was also a great help throughout the whole year and never failed to give a helping hand when needed!”
