The Kerry Education and Training Board launched its strategy statement 2023-2027 and new brand at the Tech Amergin Further Education and Training Centre in Waterville this Thursday.
The strategy sets out the pathway for the organisation’s development for the next five years, aiming to strengthen Kerry ETB’s position as a leader in education and training provision, focused on the highest quality of learning experiences for all learners across the county.
It encompasses five key objectives with the overall aim of enhancing the learner experience, reinforcing organisational cohesiveness and achieving excellence in education and training service delivery.
The strategy will be monitored and reviewed, ensuring progress is documented and aligns with Kerry ETB’s commitment to maximising educational and training opportunities across the county.
Kerry ETB chairman, Cllr Jim Finucane, said the strategy presents numerous opportunities to strengthen, expand and further develop our education and training infrastructure across Kerry.
Joining Kerry ETB staff and invited guests at the launch were the ETB’s youngest community national school student, five-year-old Tiernan McGillcuddy fro,Caherciveen, and the most senior further education and training learner 96-year-old Mary Wharton from Waterville. The 91-year age gap between these two learners demonstrated that the ETB’s provision spans the full lifelong learning journey.
Kerry ETB employs approximately 1,260 staff – including 670 part-time with 3,100 full-time students.
