I wish to advise the Deputy that provision of further education and training at Plunkett College of Further Education (Plunkett CFE) is governed by City of Dublin ETB (CDETB).
The ETB expect to support in the region of 200 learners in Plunkett CFE in the 2021/2022 academic year. Through PLC provision a range of course options will be provided including Accounting Technician, Business and Information Technology, Advanced Psychology, Construction Technology & Draughting. The pre-apprenticeship programmes will provide training in Finance Insurance, Information & Communications Technology and Finance Insurance with iFIT Software Developer Apprenticeship also available. In addition, Skills to Advance (upskilling for employed people) will provide QQI level 5 awards in both customer service and in team working.
CDETB and Plunkett CFE continually review their provision to ensure that it meets the needs of its community of learners including both employed and unemployed people; and local employers.
