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.
