The @aontas team recently visited @TipperaryETB to deliver an advocacy workshop to students focused on "Making Changes"

Students identified a lack of transport & access to work experience as 2 key issues to work on to make #AdultLearning more accessible➡️https://t.co/LT512dKxqL

@ETBIreland @TipperaryETB Thanks for a great conference @ETBIreland and nice surprise. If my video is good it’s only because of the amazing #SkillsForLife students at @NLN Hollyhill #ETBAnthem winners. Fantastic performance.

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

All we can say is wow!! @CorkETB 👏👏👏

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

@ETBI @CorkETB outrageously talented collaboration on stage tonight. Fantastic performance to round out the #FutureETB Conference. Thanks you for a great @ETBIreland conference. Well done #ETBAnthem winners. NLN Cork

Delighted to see Cora Foley @foleychick my colleague and friend from my time in @lcetb. Great advocate for young people with a reminder that in good #youthwork we need to meet the learners where they are at and it’s ok to have fun. “We take you where you are at”. #FutureETB

@JamesLeonard85 of the @2NorriesPodcast brilliantly describes his experience of school and the damage we can do as educators while also highlighting the power of education once given opportunity. Thanks James!#FutureETB @ETBIreland @TipperaryETB

John Lonergan: “where would we be without our teachers!” - reflecting on the importance of the connection between teacher and the student👏 “teachers need to be present every minute of every day” big ask for us all #futureETB @etbi @TipperaryETB #FET

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

Love John Lonergan, the Governor! Strong positive message. Be proud of what we have achieved in #ETBs in Ireland. “Most young people…have that opportunity “ to benefit from #education. Fundamental role of education is to “encourage, encourage, encourage!! That’s #FutureETB

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

#FutureETB we can learn so much from Stephanie Thompson’s #Youthreach to Phd journey through #FET. We need to make connections that support learners through the wide range of transitions they will experience. #PathwaysByDesign @ETBIreland @TipperaryETB

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

Thought provoking input from Eileen Oliver-Free @LinkedIn for ETBs as we provide for #FutureSkillsAndInnovation “how greedy we can be looking for idea candidates”-need to be diverse in our thinking. Skills will change 50% in next two years. #FutureETB @TipperaryETB @ETBIreland

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

Interesting input on #FutureSkilksandInnovation panel from Kristine Langenbucher @OECD and @andrewbrownlee7. Impact of AI to be felt most by highly skilled workers. Intermediate skills needs requirement will be significant and #FutureETB #FET is flexible and can respond.

[Noreen Reilly @NoreenPrincipal]

In the panel discussion on inclusion Joanne advises to “Listen to the person at the heart of the problem” #FutureETB @ETBIreland @WWETBofficial @wcfe @SOLASFET @SimonHarrisTD

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

Privileged to be here to listen to @JoanneOR_Ox here in Cork at #futureetb. Powerful reflection on inclusive education and power of difference. Thank you Joanne and @ETBIreland for a brilliant Keynote!! #nolimbsnolimits @TipperaryETB

[ETBI @ETBIreland]

@CorkETB CE and great host @DenisLeamy with ETBI General secretary @PaddyLavelle5 getting ready for Day 2 #FutureETB

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

Enjoyed the vox pop video on the #futureetb. Great to hear such well informed voices of our young people in our #etb schools. @ETBIreland would have been nice to have had #FET learners represented for the full spectrum of ETB landscape.

[Colin Cummins @colincummins]

Thank you Minister @NiallCollinsTD for recognising @TipperaryETB learner Liam Cleere on the publication of his book last week #futureetb. An inspiring story of the potential and power of #fet
