2009 Press Releases

Beating the Recession Blues
21.04.2009

Grimace and bear it or do something about it? That’s the question people should be asking themselves as the recession continues to bite, according to UCC. The UCC Roadshow, education providers at the University believe, should be the starting point. The Roadshow kicks off today (April 21st) in Mallow and will visit Skibbereen and Midleton in the coming weeks.
The University is urging people to take stock, but above all, to be forward-looking and prepared to turn a challenge into an opportunity. How we prepare now may be crucial in the not too distant future. UCC has played a pivotal role in the development of the Munster region for more than 150 years and has a proud tradition of making a difference.

Now, the message is that new skills and expertise can be acquired across a wide area of interests, that it is never too late to consider a change of direction and that the best possible advice is available to help make the right choices.

Dates for your Diary for the UCC Roadshow:
  • On April 21st, The Hibernian Hotel, Mallow, will host the Roadshow from 3pm  to 8pm
  • On April 30th, the Roadshow will be at the West Cork Hotel, Skibbereen, from 3pm to 8pm
  • On May 7th, Midleton Park Hotel, Midleton, will host the show.
“The University,” says President, Dr Michael Murphy, “is going out to meet the people in their own areas as a response to the unprecedented times in which we are living. There is always a new way forward and our role both in the region and nationally, is to help people to find it and supply them with the strategic back-up needed to upskill, whatever their area of choice.”
