3. 1 Education, Training and Developmentâ A recurring theme across the consultation meetings that inform this document is the vital role of education in building the economy

The Southeast region must recognise the key role of the Further Education and Training (FET) Sector in economic development.

and this will inform the delivery of Further Education and Training through the new Educational and Training Boards (ETBS).

The Stateâ€ s 33 Vocational Educational Committees (VECS) are due to be replaced this year by 16 Education and Training Boards

Similarly, there should be a strong connection built at local level between education and training providers across the statutory, community and private sector,

when the services are in a State of flux with FÃ S training services and former VEC activities now moving under the remit of new ETBS.

An information campaign locally could highlight the range of further education and training opportunities in the area and who to contact.

Past consultations with learners and feedback through AONTAS Information Referral Service highlights the need for greater levels of awareness about training and education opportunities for adults

which the employers sector can assist in the delivery of education and training at local level.

whereby they can feed into the development of education and training initiatives. ETB structures should allow for engagement with employers at a number of levels

which highlight the benefits of supporting staff to engage in training and education could form part of an overall Educational Attainment Strategy
