A year in the life of students attending courses with Gael ChĂşrsaĂ, a training college based in west Belfast. Its primary focus is to give young Irish language speakers an alternative path to education by offering them the opportunity to gain a qualification in a range of vocational skills like childcare, beauty, first aid, business finance and leadership.
In this first episode, college leader Colma Mhic Aoidh and her dedicated team of tutors confront one of their biggest challenges: relocating to a new facility. All the while, they’re maintaining the day-to-day function of the college, training and enrolling new students.
Tutor Ursula helps sort out the new beauty school and takes the first-ever cookery class in the college. Student Andrew is aiming to become a classroom assistant, and his course tutor Frances visits him in the classroom to assess how he’s progressing. Young music fanatic Ethan embarks upon a new adventure as he has ambitions of becoming a DJ and gets the opportunity to work alongside the team at Raidió Fáilte.
