Croke Park gears up for four-day careers fair

CROKE PARK is usually associated with dramatic finals, but it could be the location for exciting new beginnings at a careers and education event next weekend.

More than 90,000 people are expected to attend the four-day FÁS Opportunities 2006 Fair which kicks off next Friday. Leading employers will be in attendance to meet prospective workers first hand.

Third-level, further-education and private colleges from around the country will also be represented to provide information about their wide range of full-time and part-time courses.
