About us
Cork Education and Training Board was established under the Education and Training Boards Act, 2013 and is responsible and accountable for the proper direction and control of its functions in the Cork City and Cork County Councils’ local authority areas. Cork ETB is the only statutory body in Cork with the responsibility to provide education and training across a broad range of services. The Education and Training Boards Act 2013 was passed in May 2013 to take effect from 1st July 2013. The Act provided for the dissolution of Vocational Education Committees (VECs) and for the establishment of the 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs) through a process involving the merger of some of the 33 existing VECs. Following the amalgamation of former County and City of Cork VECs, Cork Education and Training Board (Cork ETB) was established with responsibility for the delivery of primary, post primary and further education in line with their predecessor VECs. The Further Education and Training Act 2013 was signed into law in July 2013. The Act established SOLAS (The Further Education and Training Authority) with responsibility for the planning, funding and co-ordination of the Further Education and Training services provided locally by ETBs. The Act also provided for the transfer of the former FÁS Training functions and staff to the newly formed ETBs.

The United Nations International Day for Persons with Disabilities is celebrated every year on December 3rd. The 2024 UN theme is for more people with disability to be leaders. Purple is the colour of disability because it represents dignity and empowerment. According to the CSO, 22% of the population in Ireland identify as having a disability. We are looking forward to celebrating the day together. 6 days to go! #Disability #PurpleLightUp #IDPWD2024 #Leadership Clare Kennelly

Last week marked a significant milestone for Cork, Cork ETB, and local industries, with substantial commitments and investments from local and Government bodies. SOLAS and Enterprise Ireland have partnered in a strategic initiative to expand access to upskilling programs aimed at boosting growth and competitiveness among small, medium, and micro-enterprises in Ireland. This partnership reinforces Cork ETB’s commitment to industry collaboration. Building on this momentum, Minister O’Donovan approved the next phase of the FET College of the Future initiative at Cork College of FET, setting the stage for a world-class learning environment for students, staff, and the broader community. Additional funding from SOLAS has also enabled Cork College of FET to create a new healthcare simulation suite at the Morrison’s Island Campus, addressing the growing demand for healthcare courses in the Cork area. With strategic investments like these, Cork College of FET is well-positioned to meet the needs of the community and support high-demand sectors. The future is bright!
