*Building Skills for Empowerment and Opportunity: 11-Week Programme for Women Starting This September*

Women's Collective Ireland-Donegal is delighted to offer the Building Skills for Empowerment and Opportunity programme.
This FREE programme for women provides hands-on learning opportunities to help participants develop new skills, build confidence, and explore pathways into further education and potential employment opportunities in the trades industry.
Throughout the programme, participants will be introduced to different areas of plumbing through guided, practical, hands-on tuition. You will develop the confidence and skills needed to carry out basic plumbing tasks and solve problems independently.
You will also have the opportunity to develop basic tiling skills, which can be used to tile around a plumbed feature.

As part of the programme, you will have the opportunity to connect with women who have completed trade apprenticeships or who are currently working in the trades. You will learn about the practical aspects of entering the industry, including the qualifications, education, and experience required, as well as the different pathways available to help you develop a career in the trades.

Starts: Monday, 21 September
Time: 10.00am–1.00pm
Please note: There will be a break during the October half-term week.
Venue: Foxhall Community Hall F92 KC98, just outside Letterkenny Town

The programme is open to women aged 18 and over.

Just want to point out something for all those on the boil water notice in Buncrana. The advisory is "Water must be boiled (rolling boil for 1 minute and then cooled)". Your modern electric kettle cuts out at the rolling boil point for safety reasons, so unless you are boiling in a pot or in a whistling kettle on a cooker top, you will not get 1 min rolling boil.
