The Naval Service will conduct a Transition Year scheme from 12 - 16 November 2018. Applications are sought from interested TY students for placement on the forthcoming scheme. It is anticipated that demand will exceed the capacity of the programme. Accordingly, interested students are requested, in their application, to include a brief essay (no more than 500 words) on why they seek a place on this TY scheme with the Naval Service, as opposed to any other placement they might otherwise undertake with industry or elsewhere.Applications should be made by e-mail to patricia.butler@nmci.ie and should include the following details: a. Name of student. b. Name of school. c. Name and contact details of the school’s TY Co-ordinator or other staff member co-ordinating placements.
