CTI Clonmel hosted its first graduation ceremony since pre-covid times on the 21st of October 2022. Learners arrived from all faculties and shared stories of their new jobs or their new education paths.
The host for the night was school principal John McCarthy while guest speaker was Marie McMahon, Curator of the Tipperary Museum and former learner of CTI Clonmel. Marie spoke fondly of her time in CTI where she completed an Art Portfolio Preparation course that gave her the confidence that anything was achievable. One key point that Marie made to learners was not to be afraid to fail for there is learning in failure.
Other speakers and guests on the night were our Board Chairperson Josephine Chamney, Colin Cummins, TETB Director of Further Education and Olivia Kennedy Murphy, TETB Adult Education Officer. Entertainment on the night was provided by this years music learners in what was their first gig together. A short video of the night can be seen below.
