Client Group

The priority client group for the CTC is Early School Leavers, i.e. young persons between 16 and 21 who have left school at or about the minimum school leaving age without sitting for the Leaving Certificate and who are experiencing difficulties in entering the labour market. The second priority group for the CTCs are other unemployed under 21 year olds with few or no qualifications and for whom the CTC offers the best option.
However, the Training Centre accepts trainees from all walks of life but the emphasis is on early school leavers and those from the locality. The courses are open to both male and female participants from the designated catchment area. All young people who enter the centre should achieve certification and have the opportunity to undertake work experience placements.
BGF CTC will provide a learner-centred approach to early school leavers in a stimulating and supportive environment where highly skilled staff will help learners develop their full potential; gain nationally recognised qualifications and progress toward employment. We empower local early school leavers and young adults to develop personally, vocationally and socially to meet their individual needs. We offer learning within a supportive, innovative, safe, caring, positive and non-judgemental environment.
