Laois Offaly training and education body urges people to try something new

Looking beyond Christmas in Laois the Laois & Offaly Education & Training Board (LOETB) is offering a diverse range of courses for further education and training in various fields to keep you connected, engaged and learning. 

This is a great opportunity for individuals in Laois and Offaly to explore new interests, learn new skills, and meet in a supportive environment.

The courses cover a wide spectrum,  from dress design and cooking to mindfulness, sign language, horticulture, art, and craft and much more. The LOETB says this variety ensures there's something for everyone, catering to different interests and passions.

If you or someone you know is interested in trying something new or enhancing existing skills, reaching out to LOETB at (057) 86 30093 is a good step. They can provide more information about the courses, schedules, and enrolment details.

LOETB say taking part in further education and training not only enriches personal knowledge but also fosters a sense of community and personal development. It's a positive initiative to combat the potential January blues and start the new year with a fresh and engaging experience. More below picture.placeholder image
