The Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) are committed to ensuring that the courses and programmes developed and offered to learners meet labour market requirements of the local and national economy. Interaction with business and industry is essential in order to enhance and expand our course provision and meet the skills shortages and gaps in the various sectors. We must ensure that our graduates possess the relevant level and quality of ‘job ready’ skills that employers need.

As well as the delivery of education at post-primary level, the CETB has responsibility for Further Education and Training (FET) in the Cork city and county area and provides a wide range of courses through Colleges and Centres from Levels 1 to 6 on the National Framework of Qualifications https://nfq.qqi.ie/ to individuals over 16 years of age. FET is a first choice for many and can provide a pathway to the world of work and Higher Education.
