“Dylan is a participant on his first year of the School Leavers programme.It’s a programme funded by the HSE and we have a number of young learners who come from mainstream and special education needs schools to our three year programme for health and social gain.”

NLN in Kerry provides a range of free courses to people who have had an accident, illness, injury or have a disability and extra support needs.

The courses are tailored to each student’s needs, to help them to build their confidence while getting practical job-seeking skills to help them get a job or go on to further training.
