TUS and LWETB partnership to help FET learnersThe Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and Longford and Westmeath Education and Training Board (LWETB) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance progression opportunities for FET learners. Through the partnership, TUS and LWETB will bolster the connection between TUS and schools under the patronage of LWETB and identify pathways for adult learners and progression routes. TUS president Prof Vincent Cunnane said: “We hold two fundamental principles in high regard at TUS: our collaborations with regional organisations and our commitment to facilitating access for all learners. “It provides opportunity for both institutions to explore areas of collaboration that will benefit LWETB second level students and FET learners, enabling them to reach their potential through enhanced progression opportunities, and provide clear pathways for learners in the Midlands region.”
