The North West Society is delighted to partner with Atlantic Technological University in both Sligo and Letterkenny as part of our regional outreach programme this year. On Thursday 12 February, we are inviting third-level students from ATU Sligo and ATU Letterkenny to join us on the ATU Sligo Campus for a full day of insight, inspiration, and connection with Chartered Accountants Ireland members.
The day will begin with a talk by Edel Walsh from Edel Walsh Coaching, designed specifically for students and early-career professionals. Edel will share practical tips and strategies on how to reframe setbacks and turn challenges into opportunities.
From 12.15 sharp, members and students will hear from some of the North West Society’s most successful members through a series of fast-paced, individual talks. These personal and inspiring stories include:
- Turning a global pandemic into a life-changing move from New York to Sligo
- Pioneering a remote-first accountancy practice
- Building an international career in the medical devices industry from a North West base
- Studying at ATU and with Chartered Accountants Ireland as a working parent.
These honest accounts aim to inspire both members and students to recognise that
setbacks can often be the starting point for new and unexpected opportunities. This session will be followed by lunch.
After lunch, Sophie Sweeney, Chartered Star 2025and NUI Galway lecturer, will lead an engaging Sustainability Workshop, designed to inform and encourage attendees to achieve their sustainability goals both personally and professionally.
Students who have pre-booked will also have the opportunity to participate in Virtual Reality Professional Audit and Professional Scepticism workshops, offering an immersive and practical learning experience. These workshops are available to students only and must be booked in advance.
Members are encouraged to attend for part or all of the day. Attendance is free but capacity is limited so booking is essential, contact the North West Society for further information.
