This service is designed for students in Ireland who are navigating the financial realities of higher education for the first time. The workshop addresses the specific challenges of managing a student budget, understanding the Irish tax system for part-time work, and planning for post-graduation life. Each session is interactive, using case studies based on typical Irish student scenarios—like managing a SUSI grant, budgeting for rent in Dublin, or setting up a credit union account. Participants receive a tailored workbook and a digital resource pack with templates for budgeting and goal-setting. The format is a 3-hour in-person or virtual session, delivered in small groups to ensure personalised attention. It is ideal for student unions, university orientation programmes, or societies looking to add tangible value for their members. The workshop does not offer financial advice but provides the foundational knowledge to make informed decisions. It is a practical, hands-on experience that leaves students with a clear, actionable plan for their money.
This workshop is for undergraduate and postgraduate students across Ireland, from first-year students managing their first independent budget to final-year students planning their transition to employment. It is particularly relevant for students living away from home, those balancing part-time work with studies, or anyone who wants a clear framework for their finances.
The session runs for three hours and is divided into three parts: an overview of the Irish financial landscape for students, a hands-on budgeting workshop using real-world examples, and a goal-setting exercise. Participants work through a case study of a typical student budget in Dublin or Cork, including rent, food, transport, and social costs. The facilitator guides the group through common pitfalls and practical strategies.
Workshops are delivered on university campuses, at student union events, or online via a secure platform. Each session is limited to 20 participants to maintain an interactive, discussion-based format. We provide all materials digitally and in print, and follow up with an optional one-hour check-in session two weeks later. The content is updated annually to reflect current Irish financial conditions.
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.
