Cork Access Network - “Is féidir leat”

Established in 2020, the Cork Access Network (CAN) has been diligently addressing educational disadvantages in the Cork Region. Under the capable leadership of Chair Dr. Barry O’Connor, the network brings together various entities, including Cork City Council as a partner of Cork Learning Cities, Cork Education and Training Board, Munster Technological University, University College Cork, and industry partners such as Janssen and Cork Chamber.

Recently, CAN organised a workplace learning breakfast at MTU, generously sponsored by Cork Chamber Skillnet. This event served as a platform to showcase a range of effective and inspiring approaches to accessibility that have been developed locally. Through collaborative efforts between Cork-based companies and education partners, significant strides have been made in eliminating barriers to education and employment. The event covered various topics, including practical examples of workplace learning initiatives like bridge-to- employment programs, leadership programs, disability and inclusion initiatives, as well as providing attendees with information on workplace support schemes.

CAN firmly believes in ensuring that no one is left behind, as encapsulated in their motto, “Is féidir leat” - Yes, You Can. Each example presented during the event demonstrated what can be accomplished through collaboration and concerted efforts to overcome access challenges.
