Receiving support from the TORC Foundation Education & Training Fund can have a range of benefits, including boosting your confidence and social skills, meeting new people, and improving your employability skills.

Last year, the Education & Training Fund Panel awarded a total of €7,090 in educational grants to 10 residents for the 2022-2023 academic year. The funding was provided to support the residents in their further education journey by covering a full or partial amount of their course fees. You can find more information about their courses here.
