Has your child started college and could do with some support?

Posted 16.09.2021

If your child is aged 16-22 years, disabled and undertaking the Skills for Life and Work or the Apprenticeships NI programme we can provide necessary support for disabled participants, and their parents/guardians, while in training.

Our experienced and understanding Training Support Services Employment & Training Officers have been providing Disability Support on youth training for over 20 years, working closely with training organisations and colleges across N.Ireland, supporting young students like Sean. His parents told us:

Thank you for the difference your team has made not only to Sean but our home life as well. Sean now has great hopes for the future, as do we for him, due to all your hard work.
