A group of adult learners who successful­ly completed the ‘Consolidat­ed Call Centre’ programme with LMETB’s Regional Skills and Training Centre were presented with certificat­es recently.

The programme was run by LMETB in conjunctio­n with SalesSense who provided on-the-job training and mentoring and coaching supports to the trainees.

Speaking at the event Michelle Clarke from SalesSense said: ‘we were absolutely blown away with the success of this programme. When we started the collaborat­ion with LMETB we were confident that it would be successful but our expectatio­n was far exceeded by the quality and positive attitude of the Learners. SalesSense are delighted to offer the majority of the 16 learner’s employment and we look forward to seeing them excel in their careers. We already know many have the potential for further employment progressio­n.’

Sadie Ward McDermot commented: ‘LMETB and the Regional Skills and Training Centre, Dundalk delivers a wide range of training programmes to a diverse range of clients including jobseekers, those entering the Labour market for the first time, job career changers, persons wishing to update or acquire new skills, persons with a disability, early school leavers and people in employment. This year alone we will provide adult education and training to over 10,000 adult learners in Louth and Meath. LMETB would like to thank SalesSense for their wonderful collaborat­ion and we would like to invite all employers in Louth and Meath to work with us.’

LMETB’s Further Education and Training programmes are delivered through full and part-time day courses, apprentice­ship, evening courses, online and blended learning and community based programmes. Day Courses are designed to provide learners with a range of employabil­ity related skills and formal vocational qualificat­ions. Courses lead to QQI (FETAC) awards at levels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and or industry recognised accreditat­ion such as Microsoft, CompTIA and City and Guilds.

Explaining the benefits of the courses, Peter Egan, Area Training Manager said “Year-on-year we are privileged to witness the success stories of the learners that have participat­ed on our programmes. We are seeing up 60% of our adult learners who successful­ly complete programmes transferri­ng into employment. We have many exciting new courses starting including a traineeshi­p in accounts, an apprentice­ship in IT and a whole range of other programmes. Many of our learners have received life changing training.’
