Education, Training & Careers
In 2009, Chartered Accountants Ireland introduced a new, more flexible route to Chartered Accountancy called 'The Elevation Programme'. The Elevation Programme seeks to provide students with the flexibility to study and sit exams while they remain in their current employment and balance personal and career commitments. Students enrolling via the Elevation Programme do not need to undertake a training contract with a local firm. The qualification which Elevation students receive on completion of their studies and experience is equal in prestige and status to those achieved via a training contract. 15% of the Institute's most recent student intake chose this flexible training route. Information for careers in Chartered Accountancy (via both training contract and Elevation Programme) studying in Ireland, is available at www.charteredcareers.net. This website was launched in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words training and/or careers:
“Unfortunately, life may sometimes seem unfair to middle children, some of whom feel like an afterthought to a brilliant older sibling and unable to captivate the family’s attention like the darling baby. Yet the middle position offers great training for the real world of lowered expectations, negotiation, and compromise. Middle children who often must break the mold set by an older sibling may thereby learn to challenge family values and seek their own identity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“So much of the trouble is because I am a woman. To me it seems a very terrible thing to be a woman. There is one crown which perhaps is worth it all—a great love, a quiet home, and children. We all know that is all that is worthwhile, and yet we must peg away, showing off our wares on the market if we have money, or manufacturing careers for ourselves if we haven’t.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
