ETB Week Social Media
In addition to these events, each ETB and their schools, centre and colleges have organised various events to celebrate and mark the week. Keep an eye on our social media (see links below) for more information and updates.
“Following the huge success of ETB Week in 2023, we are delighted to be celebrating Education and Training Boards across Ireland, and all the services that they deliver again this year.
“People often don’t realise the extent of the reach and impact that ETBs across the country have – providing education and training services for people right throughout the course of their life, from primary school to adult learning and everything in between. We have a presence in 26 counties across the country and pride ourselves on providing access to excellent education to people at all stages of their learning journey.
“Initiatives like ETB Week are a great opportunity for us to celebrate the fantastic work being done by the 16 ETBs nationwide, and commend their outstanding efforts in supporting children, teenagers, young-adults and older people on their education journey.” Paddy Lavelle, General Secretary of ETBI.
