Donegal ETB chief
executive Anne McHugh said: "This is a very exciting
development for the further education and training (FET)
sector as we now have a one-stop-shop which contains
information on all the FET provision at a local,
regional and national level.
"The FET sector offers a wide range of accredited
courses at a local
level which enable individuals to progress and
develop their skills for employment, career
progression, progression into other FET courses or
third-level as well as providing fundamental
literacy and numeracy and other essential skills."
Donegal ETB centres can be found throughout the
county including Buncrana; Letterkenny; the
Gaeltacht; Ballyshannon; Donegal Town; Stranorlar
and Milford. It also works closely with the network
of community outreach, education and adult learner
providers across the county.
Meanwhile, some 4,000 further education and training
courses are currently available nationally. They can
now be found at the new one-stop-shop website,
