                             Foreword
                             Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) was formed in
                             2013 through the integration of the Cork City and County
                             Cork VEC’s and in January 2014, what was Fás training in Cork
                             came under the remit of Cork ETB. For the first time ever,
                             further education and training (FET) became part of a single,
                             coherent integrated structure. Cork ETB’s FET services (FET
                             CORK) sit alongside our primary and post primary services in
                             providing high quality education and training services which
                             are innovative, responsive and inclusive. Through Cork ETB
                             there is a pathway for every learner.

                             FET Cork is tasked by SOLAS to provide high quality FET
                             programmes which are responsive to the needs of learners
                             and the requirements of a changed and changing economy.
                             Through the varied and diverse programmes and courses
                             delivered by the colleges and centres that operate under
                             FET Cork, learners are provided with education and training
                             opportunities that are designed specifically to provide the
                             skills and competencies necessary and required to access the
                             world of work, or to progress on to further studies. Our courses
                             are recognised and certified by nationally and internationally
                             recognised awarding bodies, with graduates highly valued by
                             employers and with direct access links from many courses
                             into Higher education courses in Universities and Institutes of
                             Technology, both in Ireland and abroad. Learners engaging
                             with FET Cork programmes reflect the fullness of Irish
                             society, in terms of age, experience, gender, ethnicity and
                             so much more. Participation on a FET Cork programme is
                             designed to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding
                             of the individual in an environment that is supportive and
                             encouraging, where differences and diversity are recognised
                             and respected. School leavers, mature learners, learners with
                             a disability and learners who have come to Ireland to make
                             it their home are welcomed, supported and encouraged to
                             participate and engage with our programmes.

                             that will provide you with the foundation and impetus to

                             future.
