Tipperary ETB Youthreach is an education, training, and work programme for early school leavers, with three locations in Cappawhite, Roscrea and Templemore.

Youthreach offers support to young people to help them identify what they would like to do in adult life, and allows them to gain a certificate. It provides QQI Level 3 and 4 courses, as well as the Leaving Certificate Applied programme.

In exceptional cases, specific learning programmes are delivered. In Youthreach, counselling and advocacy supports are also provided as well as the opportunity for work experience and progression to further education. Courses are full-time, and new learners are welcomed all year round.

Who is Youthreach for?

Youthreach is for young people between the ages of 16 and 20 years of age who may have no or low formal certification. (15 year olds will be considered under exceptional circumstances.)

Community Training Centres

Community Training Centres (CTC) in Nenagh, Thurles and Clonmel are independent community based organisations, funded by Tipperary ETB.

CTCs provide training to early school leavers, primarily aged between 16 and 21. Examples of programmes offered include employability skills, personal and social employment skills and science skills.

Courses are generally full-time, one year, and lead to major QQI Awards at Levels 3 and 4.
