Tullamore College student, Cian Conway, recently won third prize in the Junior Category 'My Entrepreneurial Journey' in the All Ireland Finals of the Student Enterprise Programme.

The enterprise education initiative, funded by the Government through Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the 31 Local Enterprise Offices in local authorities throughout the country, sees over 24,000 students from almost 500 secondary schools across Ireland take part yearly. For the past two years, judging has taken place virtually via electronic submissions.

The school has said they are so proud of Cian and wish him a successful Student Enterprise business.

The Student Enterprise Programme is the biggest enterprise competition for students in Ireland, with almost 29,000 students competing annually.
