MTU Kerry will run a programme offering supports for neurodiverse students.
The six-week course offers students support in developing skills for interviewing for work placements, internships, and graduate placement.
6 to 8 places are available on the free online programme, with MTU Kerry offering priority to students with autism.
The course - delivered in the first semester of the college term - is offered by Specialisterne Ireland - a social enterprise that promotes employment for neurodiverse people.
In recognition of the long-term MTU commitment to continued engagement with Specialisterne Ireland for the benefit of neurodivergent students, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed in June by the President of MTU, Professor Maggie Cusack, and the CEO of Specialisterne Ireland, Peter Brabazon.
