IGC Midlands College and Careers Fair 2026

The IGC Midlands College & Careers Fair 2026 will take place on 8 October 2026 at the International Arena, TUS Athlone Campus.

Developed as a partnership between the Institute of Guidance Counsellors (IGC) Midlands Branch and Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), Athlone Campus, this new regional event is designed to support informed progression decisions for senior cycle students across the Midlands.

Bringing together higher education institutions, further education providers, apprenticeship organisations and industry representatives from across Ireland, the event will provide students and guidance counsellors with direct access to a comprehensive range of academic and career pathways, all within one central, accessible location.

The IGC Midlands College & Careers Fair is intended to become an annual fixture in the Midlands education calendar, strengthening connections between schools, higher education and industry while supporting students at a key decision-making stage.

Guidance counsellors are invited to register their school group and select a preferred attendance time slot.
