If you wish to covert this English Learning and Irish Cultural program into a Job Shadowing program, it can easily be achieved too:

• Within our English Learning AI program – LXI have incorporated 20 hours of English lesson about ‘The Irish Educational System’ namely; Creche / Montessori - Primary – Secondary / Highschool – Third Level / College education. How they operate in Ireland & associated exams. You can learn about of educational system and learn English at what ever level you wish, via our AI technology.
• You get to meet the owner of LXI and educational business operating over 16yrs for an interview. on its objectives, certification & operations. This may include an LXI Area Manager too.
• You get to observe one of our educational mobility programs in the southeast of Ireland and can attend one of our social evenings.
• LXI arranges a 90min Zoom call with an Irish Teacher on one evening, and the participants can further enhance the learnings from the course content mentioned in point 1. Questions & answers.
• If a teacher wishes to visit local schools in the Irish towns of Tramore, Waterford, Dungarvan, Thomastown, Kilkenny, Bagnelstown, Carlow or Athy – they can do so on the days they are travelling, with the group, to these towns. Just organise the appointment in advance for a mid-day to early afternoon meeting, and work on your own initiative. Ideal if you wish to zoom in on specific teaching in Ireland (ie) Special needs, Creche, Sports teachers etc. LXI do not get involved with this Point (5) as Teacher to Teacher or School to School appointment setting is always much more successful for appointment setting.
