The awards recognise excellence in the Junior Certificate Business examinations of over 540 students in over 90 schools across Ireland.
 
The new curriculum for Business studies at Junior Certificate ​level focuses on developing skills for life, work and further study through three inter-connected strands: Personal Finance/Accounts, Enterprise and the Economy. Given the alignment of these strands with the teaching and research interests of the Economics, Finance and Accounting department at Maynooth University it is fitting that the department should recognise achievement in these examinations. 

The event is run association with the Business Teachers Association of Ireland, and in conjunction with Department of Law and School of Business demonstrating the university’s continued commitment to education and engagement with young people.
