GMIT Letterfrack is a National Centre of Excellence that provides honours degree level programmes in furniture, design and wood technology to address the requirements of industry and education in Ireland. Currently the college has 250 full-time students studying on different degree programmes. Established in 1987, GMIT Letterfrack has delivered programmes related to all aspects of the furniture industry. A common first year enables students to develop all necessary skills required for designing and producing fine furniture. Depending on specific programme choice, students begin to specialise in either design or technology or education in year two. Graduates contribute to and influence the fields of furniture and wood product design, education, technology and manufacture in ways that are innovative, creative and responsive to the ongoing development of the Irish economy. GMIT Letterfrack has well established relations with the Irish furniture and wood products industry and has links with colleges in Europe and the USA. In addition, it partners with a broad range of progressive and advanced manufacturing companies, located throughout the world, as part of a substantial work placement (internship) element of all industry programmes. As part of its teacher training programme for technological subjects up to Leaving Certificate, GMIT Letterfrack links with post-primary schools throughout Ireland for student school placements. Excellence is at the core of a student centred approach to teaching and learning within GMIT Letterfrack. Graduates attain a range of key skills linked to their programme choice and emphasis is placed on quality project-based learning. Exceptional facilities are complimented by a highly dedicated staff and prospective applicants are encouraged to visit on one of the scheduled Open Days throughout the year. Programmes on the campus are supported by Connemara West (a community and rural development organisation based in Letterfrack). Fáilte go GMIT Leitir Fraic
Tá cláir GMIT i Leitir Fraic á reáchtáil i gcomhpháirtíocht le Conamara Thiar (eagraíocht forbartha pobail agus tuaithe atá bunaithe i gConamara Thiar Thuaidh). Faoi láthair tá 225 neach léinn lánaimseartha ag an gColáiste. Sa bhliain 2008, rinne GMIT, Leitir Fraic a cuid clár a athstruchtúrú le rogha agus solúbthacht níos fearr a thabhairt do na neacha léinn. Chomh maith leis sin, tá nascálacha bunaithe ag an gColáiste le tionscal agus le coláistí thar lear le blianta beaga. Cuirtear socrúcháin oibre ar fáil in Éirinn, san AE, san Astráil agus i Meiriceá. Cuidíonn cláir Erasmus agus Socrates atá cistithe ag an AE le roghanna staidéir thar sáile. Riarann GMIT Leitir Fraic clár 4 bliana ab initio dar teideal Baitsiléir Eolaíochta (Onór) in Oideachas Dearaidh agus Teicneolaíochta. Oileann an clár seo neacha léinn le bheith ina múinteoirí ábhar teicneolaíochta go dtí an Ardteistiméireacht i scoileanna dara leibhéal. Cuireann an Coláiste comórtais neach léinn chun cinn go fuinniúil toisc go spreagann siad an neach leinn le feidhmiú ar an leibhéal is airde. Sa bhliain 2008, ghnóthaigh neacha léinn de chuid GMIT Leitir Fraic Dearthóir Neach Léinn na Bliana agus an Comórtas Náisiúnta Scileanna i nDéantús Troscáin. Is cuid ríthábhachtach dá bhforbairt oideachasúil é rannpháirtíocht na neach léinn i gcomórtais náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta a bhaineann lena réimse staidéir. Ligeann sé do neacha léinn iad féin a chur i gcomórtas le neacha léinn eile i ndisciplíní gaolmhara agus tugann sé aischothú seachtrach dóibh ar obair thionscadail. Bíonn an-tóir ag fostóirí ar chéimithe ó na cúrsaí uile ar champas Leitir Fraic. Cuireann céimithe le, agus imríonn siad tionchar ar, réimsí próiseas dearaidh agus déantúsaíochta troscáin ar bhealaí atá nuálaíoch, cruthaitheach agus freagrach do riachtanais agus d’fhorbairt tionscal troscáin d’ardchaighdeán na hÉireann.
