Introduction iv Introduction This agreement between SOLAS and Cork Education and Training Board (Cork ETB) sets out the context, strategic priorities and ETB contribution to achievement of key national further education and training (FET) sector targets over the period 2018-20. It also articulates the ETB’s commitment to supporting the implementation of a range of national policies and strategies relevant to FET provision and identifies the key risks and challenges which must be mitigated and addressed in order to ensure successful delivery of this agreement. The agreement is the product of extensive dialogue and engagement between SOLAS and Cork ETB, with independent input and validation from a panel of experts with an understanding of Irish and international good practice in further education and training systems.

  • Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028
    “Whenever and wherever societies have flourished and prospered rather than stagnated and decayed, creative and workable cities have been at the core of the phenomenon” Jane Jacobs Cork Chamber Submission to the Cork City Development Plan Initial Public Consultation July 21st 2020 1 Prologue “…I watch the other rituals of morning: Mr. Halpert unlocking the laundry's handcart from its mooring to a cellar door, Joe Cornacchia's son-in-law stacking out the empty crates from the delicatessen, the barber bringing out his sidewalk folding chair, Mr. Goldstein arranging the coils of wire which proclaim the hardware store is open, the wife of the tenement's superintendent depositing her chunky three-year-old with a toy mandolin on the stoop, the vantage point from which he is learning the English his mother cannot speak. Now the primary children, heading for St Luke's, dribble through to the south; the children for St. Veronica's cross, heading to the west, and the children for P.S. 41, heading toward the east. Two new entrances are being made from the wings: well dressed and even elegant women and men with brief cases emerge from doorways and side streets. Most of these are heading for the bus and subways, but some hover on the curbs, stopping taxis which have miraculously appeared at the right moment, for the taxis are part of a wider morning ritual: having dropped passengers from midtown to the downtown financial district, they are now bringing downtowners up to midtown. Simultaneously, numbers of women in housedresses have emerged and as they crisscross with one another they pause for quick conversations that sound with either laughter or joint indignation, never, it seems, anything between.

  • Cork ETB Newsletter June 2016 (Volume III)
    Cork ETB Newsletter June 2016 (Volume III) CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S WELCOME I am delighted to welcome you all to the final edition of the Cork ETB Newsletter for the 2015/2016 academic year. As always, at this time of year, our focus is on our students and learners who are sitting examinations and undergoing assessments during the months of May and June. Many of our students are also making important decisions about how they will progress their education and learning, start or change their careers, or prepare for another year of study in their current school, centre or college. We are proud that, for many of our students and learners, progression will mean enrolling in or returning to one of Cork ETB’s Further Education colleges, centres or services, and we look forward to welcoming them in September. In the meantime, I wish each of our students and learners every success in the weeks ahead, and hope that their hard work and dedication over the past year is rewarded. Mise le meas TERENCE MACSWINEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE Terence MacSwiney Students perform with U2’s ‘The Edge’ at Sistine Chapel A choir of seven Music Generation Young Ambassadors, including two young singers from Terence MacSwiney Community College, joined U2 guitarist The Edge in making history as they performed live at the Sistine Chapel, Rome, on Saturday, 30th April as part of a conference on regenerative medicine, Cellular Horizons. The ground-breaking performance broke tradition by becoming the first ever by a contemporary artist at the Vatican. Music Generation Students Claudia Sheehan and Nicole Alcock were part of a seven person choir who performed backing vocals to The Edge’s performance on acoustic guitar and vocals, including a cover of Leonard Cohen’s If It Be Your Will as well as versions of U2 songs Yahweh, Ordinary Love and Walk On.

  • Crawford Art Gallery Cork Annual Report 2012
    CRAWFORD ART GALLERY CORK ANNUAL REPORT 2012 Preface A National Cultural Institution, the Crawford Art Gallery receives its annual grant-in-aid from the Department of Arts Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The introduction of sharing services, knowledge and expertise between the Crawford Art Gallery, National Gallery of Ireland and Irish Museum of Modern Art ushered in a new phase in the history of these three institutions. While working more closely with its sister institutions brought positive results and substantially increased the knowledge and experience available to inform decision-making, the Crawford Gallery continued its role as an independent art museum, exhibitions centre and centre for excellence in education. The unique identity of the Crawford has been retained and enhanced as the new working arrangements are developed, while the Gallery’s future development can now be planned within the national context of provision for the visual arts. To advance the Sharing Services initiative, regular meetings were held in 2012 between staff from the Crawford Gallery and colleagues from the National Gallery and IMMA. Seventeen staff from NGI, sixteen staff from IMMA and six staff from CAG participated in a process led by consultant Clare O’Meara, who prepared a report at the end of the year. Norma Cuddihy provided the Crawford Gallery lead in terms of admin and HR; Elena Rossi and Anne Boddaert worked on Collections, while Dawn Williams represented the Gallery in Public Affairs. Peter Murray worked on overall direction and digital strategies, while Catherine Nestor focused on Enterprise and financial management. Education is to be addressed in phase two of the process.
