FAS
   

Introduction

The county of Kildare combines with Dublin West to form the FÁS region of Dublin West and Kildare - one of ten such regions nationwide. The administrative headquarters of the region is the Ballyfermot Training Centre, where the Regional Director and a number of the Regional Managers are located. For operational reasons Kildare is divided into two sub-regions to service the north and south county respectively. Sub Regional Offices are located in Celbridge and Naas. FÁS training initiatives are budgeted at two main priority groups... early school leavers and the long-term-unemployed.

Community Training Programmes

Community Training Programmes are targeted at unemployed people aged 17+ and are designed to provide the participants with a range of personal and job specific skills with the aim of helping them procure employment. The training provided takes many forms and varies from the building and restoration of Community and Heritage centers to Information Technology projects which produce Community Newsletters.
