Griffith College Certificate in Dual Career Development for Sportspeople
Griffith College, in consultation with the Irish Institute of Sport, Sport Ireland and the PFAI have developed a certificate in Dual Career Development designed to specifically address the identified needs of high performance and professional sportspeople in the area of professional dual career development and transition management; specifically, the need for sports people to maintain an educational profile while not impacting on their sport preparation.
It is intended that through mentoring and support, learners on the programme are more prepared, and in a position to plan, for transition from sport. This may include pursuing further education, developing coping skills, networking and expanding their social circle.
The Griffith College Dual Career Development certificate is validated by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) and is the result of over a year of careful research and planning. The Certificate in Dual Career Development offers a flexible and personalised learning experience, tailored to meet the unique needs of people involved in their sport at the highest level. It involves both face to face classes with extensive online support and mentoring.
