Learner success story

Mary Theresa

My name is Mary Theresa Lowndes. I am 64 years old. I came from a very disadvantaged background. I have found temporary remote work as a content and research analyst.

I have to thank Grow Remote for the knowledge gained, the confidence and the encouragement received. Without them I know that I would never have found work.

And I know from my own experience that Grow Remote Ireland does not discriminate because of age or disability. Everyone is equal and everyone is welcome. All you have to do is put in the work and you will succeed.

Digital Badge and Certificate

Upon successful completion of the programme, participants will be awarded a digital badge and certificate of completion by Grow Remote.

This badge is unique and one of the very first digital badges acknowledge by the Laois and Offaly Education and Training Board (LOETB).  If you require more details about our digital badge and wish to speak to our advisors, please contact support@growremote.ie
