In Episode 11, we explore educational opportunities for new residents in the county and those looking to upskill or change careers. Our first guest, Zahid Khan, is from Afghanistan, where he studied journalism. Due to restrictive laws in his home country, Zahid was forced to flee and eventually found refuge in Ireland. He discovered the Digital Journalism, Radio, and Podcasting course in Kerry, believing it was fate that led him there. Zahid shares his compelling story with us.
Our second guest, Phena Mulligan, works in admissions at Kerry College. She provides insights into what Kerry College offers, how newcomers can apply, and why it is an excellent choice for further education.
The New Residents podcast is a fortnightly series produced by Radio Kerry with the help of NEWKD and the Tralee International Resource Centre.
It aims to provide new residents to the county with information, advice and local knowledge in their own language, to help them adapt to their new home.
The New Residents Podcast is available on the podcast page of RadioKerry.ie and Spotify, and is funded by Coimisiún na Meán with the Television Licence Fee.
