Employment skills - Portlaoise Centre

This work based training course offers students a work placement with a host company so that they can acquire real life training, skills and experience whilst gaining a QQI Level 4 Major Award. This course is focused on the practical and soft skills required such as workplace resilience, team working and appropriate workplace behaviours to build the skills they will need to succeed in not only getting a job but keeping that job. Students attend training in the centre two days per week and will be based in their host company for three days per week. We work with students to find a work placement of their choice and support both student and the employer whilst in training. Upon course completion students have moved into jobs in areas such as catering, administration, childcare, horticulture and many more. Additional on the job Certified Training Modules can be delivered on an individual needs basis, such as Safe Pass, HACCP etc.
