Farrans is especially interested in hearing from schools and students seeking opportunities in the west of Ireland, including Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon, Galway, Cavan, Leitrim, Monaghan and Mayo.

Team members on the stand will share first-hand insights into life as a graduate, placement or apprentice and offer guidance on the best pathway for each visitor.

WorldSkills Ireland brings together enterprise, industry, education, training and government to champion skills and apprenticeships and prepare today's talent for tomorrow's careers. Last year, the event welcomed more than 29,000 visitors.

WorldSkills Ireland 2026 will once again run alongside The Irish Times Higher Options event.

Visitors are encouraged to drop by and say hello.
