This service targets early-career professionals in Ireland who are transitioning from student life to earning a regular salary. The workshop focuses on the financial decisions that arise in the first few years of employment: understanding payslips, managing a salary, setting up a pension, and building an emergency fund. It uses real examples from the Irish job market, such as navigating PRSI contributions, comparing health insurance plans, or evaluating a workplace pension scheme. The format is a 4-hour intensive workshop, delivered in small groups at our Dublin office or at corporate partner sites. Participants receive a personalised financial planning template and access to a curated resource library. The workshop is designed for employers who want to support their staff’s financial wellbeing, or for individuals seeking structured guidance. It avoids generic advice and instead provides a clear, step-by-step framework for making financial decisions at this career stage. The tone is professional and practical, with an emphasis on actionable outcomes.
This workshop is for professionals in their first five years of work in Ireland, from graduates starting their first job to those moving into a new role with increased responsibilities. It is especially useful for individuals who feel uncertain about managing a salary, planning for the future, or understanding their employment benefits. Employers can book this for their teams as part of a professional development programme.
The workshop covers salary breakdown, tax and PRSI, pension schemes, emergency funds, and long-term savings. It uses a case-study approach, walking through the financial decisions of a typical early-career professional in Dublin or Cork. Participants engage in group exercises to compare financial products and create a personal action plan. The facilitator provides guidance on common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Sessions are held in person at our Grafton Street office or via a virtual platform, with a maximum of 15 participants per group. The 4-hour workshop includes a mix of presentation, discussion, and hands-on activities. After the session, participants receive a digital toolkit and an invitation to a one-hour Q&A session. The content is tailored to the Irish financial context and is updated regularly.
The student workshop gave me a clear way to budget my grant money. I finally felt in control of my finances instead of just guessing each month.
