Trainees from Cobh YMCA STEP programme graduated on Friday 11th July after completing a year long course. All received a full FETAC Level 4 award. They were joined by a large group of family and friends. The trainees showcased some of their work completed as part of the Digital Media Technology component. They studied the use of social media and made a number of films – a drama, a comedy, an animation and a video compilation of their activities throughout the year which included snorkelling in Lough Hyne, zorbing and climbing in the Glen resource centre, walking part of the Sheep’s Head Way and organizing a number of fund-raising events.
