Project: MSELTB by Matrix Internet

The Brief

The Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board is the leading provider of education and training in the region, with a strong community-focused vision.

The MSLETB educates and trains 30,000 children, young people and adults at their schools, training centres, youth centres and further education centres.
The board needed a new modern, youth-focused website that was user-friendly and spoke directly to students and trainees in the region. We responded with an engaging platform that captures their online brand and presents all of their opportunities in an enticing way.

To reflect MSLETB’s dynamic environments we chose strong imagery and video from their various learning and training centres, matched with an engaging content strategy throughout. The website now offers a streamlined and logical user journey and a hassle-free route to all of MSLETB’s services. It’s faster and easier to navigate, and future-proofed so staff can update the site without calling for external help.

In helping develop this new online platform, we’re happy to have been a part of MSLETB’s ongoing drive towards excellence in the region.
