MSLETB Get Lit!

Roisin Egan

A brand-new podcast about literacy, learning and confidence. Each episode shines a light on skills that help adults grow in reading, writing, numbers, and digital skills with stories from learners, tutors, and partners. In this first episode, Minister Marian Harkin, Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, and Dr. Yvonne McKenna, Director of Adult Literacy for Life at SOLAS, share how the Adult Literacy for Life strategy is changing Ireland’s culture around unmet literacy needs and how taking the first steps can unlock confidence.
