Teenagers and adults from Carrick-on-Suir and its surrounding areas showed great interest in courses run at Carrick-on-Suir Further Education & Training Centre at its open morning on Tuesday, April 16.

People of all ages flocked to the Tipperary Education & Training Board run centre, located at the former Comeragh College building at Greenside, to chat with learners and tutors about the selection of full and part-time courses available there as well as in other ETB centres across the county.

Visitors talked to adult guidance and information officers at the FET Centre, and also took guided tours of the facilities, which include computer classrooms, a woodwork room and cookery/barista kitchen.
