student support
One way we support students is through our guidance counselling service, which can assist you both in career guidance as well as student counselling and other support.
Students can also access financial support for Donegal ETB programmes through various initiatives, which you can read more about on our financial support page.
Numerous tech resources are available to students, including a device loan scheme, technology hubs, Wi-Fi and assistive technology for those with a visual impairment.
Disability Accommodation
If you have a disability and/or specific needs, we have a range of programmes catering for your requirements. In addition, other training supports can be provided, such as:
adaptive technologies, for example, screen reading software;
suitable furniture, equipment or devices;
adjusting or modifying examinations, for example, by allowing extra time or providing a reader or scribe;
provision of a reader or interpreter service.
For more information on technology for disability accommodation, see the technology resources page.
It is important that Donegal ETB is informed about your needs relating to your disability at the time of course selection/recruitment in order to facilitate a discussion about which programmes are most suitable. It will also assist us in providing any additional training supports that may be needed. If your circumstances have changed from the time you joined the ETB as a student, please contact the Adult Guidance and Information Service for help and advice on (074) 9178088.
Please refer to the financial support page for more information on the grants available for students with disabilities.
