Learners celebrate their achievements in VTOS
LEARNERS, their families and staff from Louth Meath Education Training Board’s VTOS programme gathered on Friday June 22nd in the Adult Further Education Centre in Chapel Street to celebrate their efforts and achievements over the last year.
Participants from across three courses- Return to Learning QQI Level 3, Leaving Certificate for Adults and Third Level Access Course QQI Level 5- were presented with Certificates of Attendance.
Some of the learners are intending return to complete a second year with the VTOS programme whilst some are already planning their next steps into further/higher education or employment.
