This is what parents of our #SavvyTeens had to say about the programme: "He is really enjoying the course and is absolutely buzzing every evening." "For a girl who was so reluctant to go, she seems to have thoroughly enjoyed her week. Her confidence has definitely been boosted. She was delighted bringing in her CV today." "He is sad that it's over. He got so much from it, he is enthused, excited about life and his future. It has given him permission and confidence to go for it, to believe in himself and not to put limits on himself. Thank you so much for that. It was good for him to hear this from someone other than his parents." "She got a lot out of this. She's going back to school inspired and full of new enthusiasm."

Thank you sincerely to our PwC Ireland mentors for being superbly enthusiastic in answering our NEIC Dublin teenagers’ questions. From answering “what motivates you to get up in the morning to work?” all the way to the end of their list, you’ve given them real lessons in life. Thank you to Clodagh Dunleavy and Anna Bell giving us, at Savvy Teens, the opportunity to facilitate this experience for these teenagers this week.
