Graduates awarded at the Irish Centre for Work Based Learning Partnerships. |
A day of celebration- the first ICWBLP conferring ceremony to be held in Ireland' Seán Haughey TD
The Minister for Lifelong Learning, Seán Haughey TD, attended the conferring ceremony for doctoral and masters degrees by the University of Middlesex in conjunction with the Irish Centre for Work Based Learning (ICWBLP). The graduates are all senior executives in business and the manufacturing industry.
The ceremony took place at St. Mary's Cathedral Limerick.
The ICWBLP is a not for profit educational institution founded in 2004 in partnership with Middlesex University (UK). For over four decades the ICWBLP has been driving change and advances in management education and practice both with the academy and the professional world of practice in the areas of 'work related learning'.
While it is important to continue to increase participation rates among the school leavers, we must also focus on opportunities for lifelong learning if we are to expand access to education and training for all individuals throughout their lives and accrue the social and economic benefits of doing so.
This is particularly evident during these challenging economic times, when Ireland needs to maintain its competitiveness and provide a highly skilled, productive and flexible workforce, which will attract high-value inward investment.
Minister Haughey concluded by commending the founders of the ICWBLP for creating new possibilities for individuals, without leaving their workplace, to advance their knowledge base and generate new opportunities for innovation and growth.
