My first Magazine KWETB Autumn Brochure 2017 A5 [hi-res] Final | Page 3

Welcome It gives me great pleasure to present the Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board (KWETB) Autumn 2017 brochure listing the Further Education and Training classes, programmes and services on offer across County Kildare and County Wicklow. KWETB believe that quality education should be accessible to all. Through our Further Education and Training Centres, schools, colleges and community outreach provision we are endeavouring to provide the courses and learning opportunities that are required for lifelong learning and continued development to those interested in leisure pursuits, employment, up-skilling and re-employment. Having recently assumed responsibility for the SOLAS (former FÁS) training programmes, including apprenticeships, the youth training and development programme and community training programmes, we are now in a position to offer a comprehensive range of education and training opportunities to support those wishing to re-enter the workforce at whatever stage they are at. KWETB will continue to offer clear progression options, supporting learners to the next stage of their journey, whether it is employment, further education or higher education. Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board will endeavour to provide a responsive, innovative and stimulating learning environment providing courses and programmes on a modular and flexible basis. QQI and other certification are available on many courses and programmes from level 2 to level 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ).
