Save the Horticultural course in West Cork Campus Skibbereen
The Horticulture course in West Cork Campus provides a vital training centre for those who wish to pursue a career in Horticulture, growing food and sustainability in the West Cork area. Students have already enrolled in the Sep 2024 course however the course is being shut down.
Why is this important?
Please get behind this campaign to keep the horticulture course open in West Cork Campus Skibbereen. This course provides people with opportunitites to train and work in this area in the west cork area. Growing food, increasing biodiversity and ecology in something we need to promote. Please sign this petition to keep the course open, for those that are already enrolled on it and prospective students who wish to study this important and sustainably driven subject. Closing this course will deny people who genuinley want to study and work in the area of Horticulture in West Cork. It does not make any sense! This is a sustainable and practical career choice for those living in West Cork and should be retained. We call on the Cork ETB (Education Training Board) and all our local representatives to keep this course open.
