Administrative Staff

It is the City of Dublin ETB's practice to encourage and assist staff to obtain suitable qualifications which will increase their contribution to the City of Dublin ETB and assist in their personal development.  Assistance may include:
 
• Help towards the cost of course fees
• Study and examination leave

Administrative staff members wishing to undertake courses of relevant study in the following academic year should complete an application form, duly signed by his/her Head of Section, and submit it to the HR Section in Head Office for approval by the appropriate authority by 31st July.  Course details – including cost – should be included with the application.  
 
 
 
Please note:
 
(a) approval of support does not guarantee entry to a course  
(b) approval is made on a year to year basis – not for the full duration of the course
(c) approval in any year does not constitute a commitment by City of Dublin ETB to subsequent years 
(d) allocation of support will be dependent on level of demand and availability of funding and will be subject to the needs of the scheme being met.
(e) courses must be relevant to the staff member’s work – partial support may be provided for courses which are partially relevant
(f) in the event that a staff member does not complete the course, reimbursement must be made to City of Dublin ETB– up to the full amount provided.

Springboard and Upskilling Initiative:

The Springboard+ upskilling initiative in higher education offers free and subsidised courses (90% subsidised!) at certificate, degree and masters level leading to qualifications in areas where there are employment opportunities in the economy. It is open to those who are unemployed and those in employment. 

There are courses available at Levels 6,7,8 and 9. I've attached the full list of courses available, there may be one that will support you in your current role, or one which will help you to upskill in a completely different area! I’ve attached the lists of courses available.

All queries are made directly to the university in question.

 

Access to the CDU Moodle resources space:


For access to all continuing professional development resources and supports, you can refer to our Curriculum Development Unit's Moodle Site. If you are not currently registered on this site, you should contact our Senior Librarian, Dr. Eva Hornung directly on eva.hornung@cdu.cdetb.ie. This site is the main repository for all Professional Learning and Development opportunities in City of Dublin ETB. It houses training, supports and resources on 0365, Moodle, Blended Learning, Social and Emotional Learning, Pedagogy, TEL tools, supports and resources on UDL and for students wtih additional learning needs and supports from the psychological service. There are also resources available for some QQI modules. This resource is available for all staff, academic and non-academic. It is a work in progress and will be continuously updated and added to. Many of the resources have been developed by City of Dublin ETB staff, for City of Dublin ETB staff.
 

The Department of Education and Skills will not sanction the payment of fees by City of Dublin ETB for courses which lead to a qualification that attracts an allowance within the incremental pay scale.
