Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board

On 1st July 2013, the 33 Vocational Education Committees (VECs) were dissolved and replaced by 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs). The ETBs are established under and governed according to the Education and Training Boards Act 2013. Each ETB is a statutory body with its own corporate structure. On Monday, July 1st 2013 Waterford and Wexford ETB was officially established. Subsequently, on 1st January 2014, the then Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn T.D., formally announced the transfer of seven SOLAS Training Centres to the recently established Education and Training Boards. In accordance with this, on 1st July 2014, the WWETB officially welcomed the addition of Waterford and Wexford Training Centres (formerly the SOLAS Training Centres), to their range of services. Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB) provides a comprehensive range of education and training services throughout Waterford and Wexford and is the largest education and training provider in counties Waterford and Wexford. WWETB’s educational and training provision includes second-level schools, further education colleges and a range of adult and further education centres delivering education and training programmes, Post Leaving Certificate Courses (PLCs), Youthreach centres, Outdoor Education and Youth Services. Waterford and Wexford ETB places learning and the learner at the heart of its educational provision and I hope this website will give you an insight into the wide range of programmes and services we offer.
