RTÉ pro-actively and formally collaborates with second and third-level institutions throughout Ireland, particularly those with a core focus on media, which allows us to secure a sustainable pipeline of young talent, especially in areas of strategic growth.
Through partnerships with the Access departments in third level institutions in Dublin, Cork and Limerick, every year forty TY students from disadvantaged areas are given the opportunity to spend a week in RTÉ learning about programme making from experienced professionals.
The TY Access Project has been running for three years and encourages transition year students from DEIS schools to pursue further study or a career in multimedia.
