SETU Waterford is a major resource for the region and its community, providing opportunities for people to develop existing and new skills, generate knowledge and create new opportunities for economic growth. The relationship with industry in the South East region, Ireland and abroad is a defining characteristic of the Institute. SETU Waterford has developed and continues to develop important relationships with community groups, government, industry groupings, Chambers of Commerce, educators, funding agencies, HEI’s and employers.
In many cases, these collaborations lead directly to a number of positive outcomes: programme development and delivery, new research projects, more sports opportunities and scholarships, increasingly diverse student cohort, study abroad opportunities, increased work experience for our students, new funding pathways and improved employment prospects.
