The North West Tertiary Education Cluster (NWTEC) has launched a new one stop resource for career and learning progression. The website will support lifelong learners, parents, teachers, career guidance counsellors and employers in the North West cross-border region, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about their future.
The website was developed by the well-established North West Tertiary Education Cluster (NWTEC) a strategic alliance of the four publicly funded education institutions in the North West City Region – Atlantic Technological University, Ulster University, North West Regional College and Donegal Education and Training Board. NWTEC aims to further drive the transformation of the North West to become an internationally significant learning region building on its existing strength in the knowledge economy. The partners will support this positive change, by providing a full range of educational services including advanced skills training, cutting-edge innovation supports for enterprise, and internationally recognised high-quality research.
Key features of the website include the breadth of partners’ programmes, pathways and progression routes for learners and inspiring case studies of students’ educational journeys in the region.
The website will be the main portal for information on the high-quality digital courses to be delivered by all four partners under the recently launched North West Digital Employment Pathways Training Hub (NW DEPTH). This project – supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) – will run for four years. PEACEPLUS represents a funding partnership between the European Union, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Government of Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Executive. The first cohort of learners will be recruited for September 2025 where the nearly €10 million investment from PEACEPLUS will cover the fees of 2,000 individuals upskilling or reskilling via an innovative portfolio of digital skills courses.
Speaking about the website, Paul Hannigan, VP for Cross Border Engagement and Head of College at ATU Donegal said “the new website is about empowerment through communication, all partners in NWTEC are fully committed to ensuring that every learner feels understood, guided, and empowered throughout their tertiary education journey.”
