The project administrator of the renamed ‘LIT Clare – Ennis Learning Centre’ campus, which is one of three facilities providing third-level education in the ounty, said the move will help to widen participation in higher education in Clare by providing flexible and local access to third-level programmes.
Anne Griffin said the centre would seek to provide participants with qualifications in a sector that will continue to require suitably qualified graduates in the years ahead.
“The aim of this Higher Certificate programme is to give students an educational experience that will provide them with a knowledge base in a variety of learning streams related to business studies and computer applications. The programme also will provide students with the opportunity to develop skills for lifelong learning”.
