South Tipperary Vocational Education Committee (VEC)
As the state provider of education for the County the VEC’s remit is the provision of a comprehensive range of quality education programmes to meet the needs of the community.
These include Second Level Education, Post Leaving Certificate Programmes, Further Education, Second Chance and Adult & Community Education.
As part of the Craft Granary’s ongoing efforts to provide opportunities for craft workers in the South East region we are planning to host a training session given by the South Tipperary VEC. The VEC provide a wide range of courses in various subjects, they draw from their panel of tutors to provide these courses. The aim of this training session will be to present the craft worker with the opportunity of applying to become a tutor on this panel.
This training will provide participating craft workers with an overview of what is expected from VEC tutors and the benefits of being a tutor. Some of the subjects covered will be the principles of adult education, facilitation of workshops, completion of attendance records, etc.
The training will be a half day session and will be held at the Craft Granary in Cahir. Spaces are limited and we expect a high level of interest. We would encourage anyone who is interested in this opportunity to complete and return this form at their earliest convenience.
