Education Programmes

BITCI’s Education Programmes partner schools and businesses where corporate volunteers share valuable soft skills, real-world industry knowledge and career insights with DEIS students. These nationwide programmes are run at primary and secondary level to enhance pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills, offer work placements and widen their network. They are effective employee engagement initiatives.
