Employability Skills - Portlaoise Centre

The Access course aims to develop the personal and social skills of students. This is done through extensive use of community facilities and practical skills training. Underpinning this course is New Directions, a Health Service Executive (HSE) person-centred service for adults with disabilities. Access aims to help boost students confidence and to give people greater level of independence. We will help the student make realistic choices about further training or get a job that best suits their strengths and abilities. Access offers a variety of work experience placements so students can sample different work environments and learn the skills required.
