The traditional route of education isn’t for everyone. YouthReach is for those who want to achieve their goals a different way.
Youthreach is a Department of Education and Skills official education, training and work experience programme for early school leavers aged 16-20. It is a full-time programme, usually over two years.
With a more personalised approach to learning, Youthreach offers young people the opportunity to identify options within adult life, and provides them with opportunities to acquire certification and to develop their personal, social and civic skills in a supportive and caring environment.
Our creative teaching methods allow us to understand the individual needs of each student, establish positive student/teacher relationships, and provide the framework for young people to progress to further education and training, or to gain employment.
Youthreach is for you if:
You are aged between 16 – 20
You have left mainstream school early
You want to further your education
You are willing to embrace a challenging and exciting opportunity
