Learner & Employer Journeys

The importance of training and education can never be understated. The benefits of upskilling, reskilling and life long learning (LLL) allow a learner to develop both personally and professionally, taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.​
In KWETB, we pride ourselves on promoting this journey and supporting the learner in anyway that we can.
Below are a sample of learner and employer journeys.
Pastry, Baking and Desserts Past Learner

We loved catching up with our past learner, Aisling O'Toole, at Kildare's Big Business Show yesterday! Aisling completed our Pastry, Baking, and Desserts course and is also an award-winning supplier of brown bread at Dunnes Stores. She’s just launched a brand-new protein loaf—how amazing is that?
