A new booklet celebrating the impact of learners sharing their experiences through the National FET Learner Forum features a Wicklow learner s story.
The booklet launched by AONTAS, the National Adult Learning Organisation, and entitled I m a FET Learner, features the personal stories of ten Further Education and Training (FET) learners.
Officially launching the booklet via video link Minister for Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD, said: This booklet offers a real picture of the impact that adult education makes on people across this country. Many of the featured people faced challenges. By finding the courage to take that first step, these individuals, and countless more, have opened up a world of opportunities. FET is for everyone and it is my absolute priority to support everyone irrespective of their age, background or educational experience to have access to FET.
