The Youthreach Programme gives young people between the ages of 15 and 20, who left school early, an opportunity to get recognised qualifications and training.

Youthreach offers a flexible and dynamic programme of integrated general education, vocational training and work experience. Learners set personal and educational goals that increase their self-esteem, skill and knowledge base and employability. Essential course elements include Personal and Social Development, Vocational Skills and Communications Skills.
The Youthreach process involves

• personal development and exploration
• identification of needs, interests and capacities
• setting learning goals
• sampling general vocational skills
• development of specific aptitudes
• work experience
• literacy and numeracy development
   

Laois and Offaly ETB operate Youthreach programmes in five different locations in Laois and Offaly, as outlined below:

• Youthreach Banagher
