VET - Vocational Education and Training

In Ireland, Vocational Education and Training (VET) refers to education and training that equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for specific occupations or the broader labour market. It encompasses a wide range of programs and pathways designed to prepare people for work, including apprenticeships, traineeships, and Post Leaving Certificate (PLC) courses. 

VET is delivered by various providers, primarily within the Further Education and Training (FET) sector, but increasingly also within higher education.
