Guidance Awareness Training - IVEA

Foreword
The Guidance Awareness Training (GAT) programme was planned and delivered in 2008. The national
co-ordinator of ITABE and the NCGE national co-ordinator of AEGI, worked together on all aspects of
this programme with the support of the two national advisory groups and the relevant organisation
representatives.
We wish to acknowledge the support and commitment from all who have participated in the
development and delivery of the Guidance Awareness Training, and the continued support of the
Department of Education and Skills, and the national advisory groups of ITABE and AEGI.
To reflect the success of ITABE and the on-going commitment from the Department of Education and
Skills, the DES provided an additional representative to the ITABE advisory group from 2008. Due to
the new structures within the National Centre for Guidance in Education, the NCGE-AEGI is now
represented by the director of NCGE on the ITABE advisory group.
Since the initial draft of this report in 2009, the Department of Education and Science has been
restructured as the Department of Education and Skills. This final report on the Guidance Awareness
Training programme is being made available for publication in 2011.
