Exhibition offers parents options to further their education

With children back at school and colleges reopening in the coming weeks, the options for parents or other adults to consider furthering their education are being showcased in Cork over the next two days.

There is also a chance to hear what employers are looking for from job applicants, as well as information about more informal personal development classes, at the Adult Education & Training Exhibition which opens this afternoon.

The stands feature exhibitors from third-level colleges, Cork Education & Training Board and its colleges, Cork Training Centre (formerly Fás), but also from non-statutory educators like private colleges and training organisations, and voluntary bodies.
