Day 2 of our #CPD days for City of Dublin ETB FET staff. Yesterday, we enjoyed the hospitality of FET College Ballyfermot Road/Kylemore Road. We looked at diversity, AI and transformative initiatives impacting on our work. Thank you to all who presented and attended.

Summer's gone and we are back at school! Yesterday, we enjoyed day one of our Training Days for FET staff at the RIASC centre. Great organisation by our PLD co-ordinator Denise O'Connor! Fabulous speakers from City of Dublin ETB updated staff on new developments happening across the organisation.

Members of City of Dublin ETB's Quality Assurance Development Group met to develop policy and guidelines on work integrated learning. The aim was to align our provision with Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)'s guidelines in this area. Great progress!

Some photos from our cross FET consultation meeting on 29th April about the development of level 4 vocational pathway awards for use in the ETB sector. We enjoyed excellent discussions. Louise Fitzpatrick and Karen Parkinson from cityofdublinetbcdu.bsky.social collected lots of ideas.
