Clare students are worried about their future careers with many expecting to have to leave the County in order to find work once they qualify.
A recent survey completed by StudyClix which has over 2,000 young respondents from the County highlights a deep concern from second level students in relation to securing employment.
Financial pressures, future job security and housing are high on the list of students’ minds with 51% believing it unlikely they will end up working in their home county after college. A further 52% of students believe it is unlikely they will be able to buy a home in their own county after they begin working.
88% of students nationally believe it is a possibility that they will emigrate at some point in their lives.
