THE Donegal YMCA
Support, Training and Enterprise Programme has
congratulated the eight trainees who graduated from
the course last Thursday.
The group is now urging people who would like to
take part next term to get their applications in
soon.
The programme is primarily aimed at early school
leavers who are unemployed and between the ages of
17-25 years and have left school at least six months
previously. Participants receive the equivalent of
SOLAS training allowances and also receive a
transport and meal allowance. |
