A REALLY USEFUL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY!
ROSCOMMON LEADER PARTNERSHIP and EQUAL Ireland, the adult education people, have joined together to provide you with a unique local education opportunity. The subjects we will be working through include an Introduction to Humanities which will focus on Community Development; An introduction to Enterprise Development that considers starting your own business, business models, funding sources etc. and Everyday Numbers which looks at how we use numbers in everyday life, whether to pay bills, measure things, calculate benefit entitlement, do budgets, work out times and distances all the everyday stuff of numbers and ordinary life. It’s maths OK, but not as you know it!!!
These modules form part of the Essential Skills Certificate (Workplace Community & Education, certified by Letterkenny IT. The real cost of taking these three modules is about €500 but lucky you, Roscommon Leadership Partnership will pay this for you (subject to eligibility) so that all you need to do is turn up, learn and graduate!
