Advisory Committees

EIT is committed to delivering study programmes relevant to the workforce.  To achieve this aim EIT  has various Advisory Committees which act as a direct link to industry.  An Advisory Committee consists of various members of the community employed in relevant industries.  These members keep EIT up to date with practices in the workplace.  EIT also has direct links with industry and sectors through various programmes it offers.  EIT welcomes its association with these companies and organisations to ensure that curriculum is current and relevant.
