CITB NI Boosts Loughshore's Construction Training Success
In the 2021-22 academic year, CITB NI played a central role in supporting the Loughshore Educational Resource Centre. Facing challenges in securing a suitable training facility for their Occuapational Studies students, the school turned to CITB NI for assistance. Using CITB NI's training facilities, the students engaged in practical training sessions in areas such as brickwork, landscaping and paving.
The impact of this collaboration was evident as, by 2022-23, eight young individuals successfully attained Level 2 or Level 1 qualifications through the training programs provided.
Encouraged by this success, Loughshore has continued its partnership with CITB NI in the 2023-24 academic year. Demonstrating a commitment to expanding opportunities for their students, the school has increased its utilisation of the facility from one day to two days. This expansion aims to accommodate a growing number of trainees specialising in construction trades, further enhancing the educational outcomes for students at Loughshore Educational Resource Centre.
