Enterprise Engagement Testimonials

See below Enterprise Engagement testimonials from companies that have worked with our Enterprise Engagement Team.​

LWETB offers a range of accredited training courses to employers across a variety of sectors to enhance and develop the skillset of their employees. These highly subsidised (often free) courses are available online and in-centre with a combination of taught and self-directed programmes. 

Companies often focus entirely on their immediate skills needs. However, understanding the company’s future skills needs is essential to that company remaining competitive and relevant in today’s rapidly changing landscape – it is critical to futureproof the business as well as the jobs within that business. Upskilled staff ensure the continued performance of a company and have a higher job satisfaction with their growing skillset… Staff loyalty is difficult to build and losing good staff is something companies cannot afford to do.

TEG is a local company, employing locals from Westmeath and Longford. Some of our best staff members joined TEG after completing training with LWETB. We always appreciated the flexibility of the training programmes, some of which were designed specifically for our needs.

We have been able to get excellent staff, well trained and committed to work through LWETB. We look forward to continuing this relationship in the future as the company expands. I strongly encourage other companies to engage with LWETB.

I also encourage individuals, of whatever age, to use the training opportunities offered by LWETB for training or retraining. Opportunities exist with good companies for people who are motivated to learn something new and experience a new or different work environment.

TMC Fabrications have collaborated with Athlone Training Centre for many years. This includes TMC facilitating work experience trainees, employing their graduates and TMC staff receiving further training with ATC. We have always found the instructors to be very approachable and experienced in their particular fields, delivering top class training with excellent facilities. Any trainees that have come through their training programs were very well tutored and always had a positive experience with them.

We needed some bespoke Welding training for our technicians and struggled to find anyone who could accommodate our needs. We contacted Longford and Westmeath Education and Training Board and they didn’t hesitate to create the required training to meet our needs. The tutors and facilities are excellent and we would highly recommend them, and will be using them again in the future.
