Mentaga Learn helping students
“Mentaga Learn allows students to assess their learning capabilities, learning styles and learning organisation as well as their time management, interest areas and potential career areas. Using Mentaga Learn students get a clearer idea of what careers may suit them and what subjects they may need to study to pursue this career. The product currently has approximately 25,000 users on the island of Ireland. Many schools in Ireland are now using Mentaga Learn as students prefer completing these fun interactive assessments online rather than the traditional paper and pen alternative.”
