What is the Back to Education Initiative |
| The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) provides part-time courses for people aged over 16 years old who are interested in a range of part time accredited learning opportunities leading to awards on the National Framework of Qualification (NFQ). It gives individuals the opportunity to combine a return to learning with family, work and other responsibilities. BTEI offers you a chance to continue your education and training, to develop new skills, to gain certification at a range of levels and to improve your chance to find employment. |
Brief description of this programme |
| The Back to Education Initiative (BTEI) is a part-time programme consisting of a range of courses designed to meet the education and training needs of young people and adults looking to enhance their level of qualifications. The aims of BTEI are to increase the participation in a range of accredited learning opportunities and to facilitate access, transfer and progression to other education or employment pathways. In the current context, the BTEI enables providers to address the skills needs of unemployed people, in particular the priority groups identified in the Government’s activation agenda, and to develop part-time education and training opportunities for low skilled people in employment to gain qualifications |
