Student Profile Information Technology KWETB FETC, Manor Mills, Maynooth, Co Kildare. Mary McCahill With the help and encouragement of the tutors I went on to complete QQI level 3 Internet and Email, Word Processing and Basic Bookkeeping. I also completed QQI level 4 office skills and Information technology and I’m currently studying QQI level 5 Bookkeeping and Word Processing. I cannot praise them enough for their commitment and patience with me. Hopefully in the next year or so, I will be ready to seek employment. In the mean time I hope to improve my skills further by attending more courses and maybe achieve a major award. I would recommend anyone who might be considering furthering their education, to come into the centre and have a chat. They are all very friendly and will advise you on all the different courses that are available. Mary McCahill MAYNOOTH I’ve spent the last 10 years taking care of my daughter and now she’s getting older I’ve felt I should prepare myself for returning to work and this prompted me to seek further education. A friend of mine suggested Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board, which she attended and found very helpful. I was very nervous and apprehensive but my mind was put at ease when I met the centre co-ordinator. I was made feel very welcome and didn’t feel a bit inadequate. NK 7
