The signing of this MOU serves as a concrete affirmation of our dedication, uniting TUS and LWETB in our shared commitment to learners and the region, providing clear pathways for attainment."
LWETB Chief Executive Liz Lavery says . “I am delighted to sign this memorandum of understanding which reflects the strong partnership that exists between Longford and Westmeath ETB and TUS. This MOU 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.”
