Leading the Way Cork Education and Training Board is helping to drive education across the county.
C
ork Education and Training Board (CETB) is the second largest education and training board in the country, with responsibility for the provision of post primary education, further education and training programmes across a range of settings, and the largest training centre in the country. The past two and a half years have been a period of significant change for CETB – beginning with the amalgamation of the City of Cork and Cork County Vocational Education Committees (WECs) in July 2013, following by an assumption of all former Fás training in the Cork area from January 2014. Continued demand for post primary
places has also led to significant capital investment across the county. CETB is also enhancing its links with business and industry, ensuring that its education and training programmes match local labour market needs, and reflect national trends. With the economic recovery still in the early stages, there is a developing realisation that providing courses and training for those in employment is important, as upskilling and retraining to develop additional skills is a vital component for sustained development and competitiveness. CETB is seeking to improve communication with business and industry in order to improve its ability
to respond to emerging education and training needs, and continues to review all programmes to ensure they meet learners’ needs. Alongside two new pilot programmes, CETB is collaborating with a number of professional organisations on the development of new apprenticeship programmes, to be introduced following the Government review of apprenticeship undertaken earlier this year. Cork Education and Training Board is building on the traditions, strengths and histories of the organisations it supersedes to be a dynamic leader in education and training provision across the region.
