“The Killarney VTOS vision of education has evolved since our commencement in 1993," Mary A. O’Connor told the Killarney Advertiser.
"At the core of Killarney VTOS has been the broad understanding of education being a lifelong instrumental life skill. Central to this is the learners’ well-being, enabling him/her to develop, grow and commence their journey either into employment and/or further education. Learners leave Killarney VTOS prepared and equipped with self-awareness, self-knowledge and a relevant skillset to competently enter the world of work or progress to further education and training.”
The QQI/ICDL certificates that the learners achieve through the VTOS programmes are proof of their commitment, determination, hard work and perseverance. Killarney VTOS believe that the centre plays a vital role in the promotion of positive mental health and they are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for building life skills and resilience amongst our learners.
Their programmes include Information and Communication Technology Skills - QQI Level 3 and 4, and Employment Skills - QQI Level 5.
Modules include; Communications, Work Experience, Payroll ICDL/Advanced ICDL, Expert ICDL standard, Manual Handling, Fire Safety Training, and First Aid.
“If you decide to join our Killarney VTOS programme, we hope that your time with us will be enjoyable and rewarding, leading you to either return to the workforce or progress to further education and training and beyond.”
