Skills for Life

Skills for Life is our full-time training course for school leavers based at Munster Technical University. The course is run over 3 years including a transition year if needed. Some QQI modules are available to our students. On completion of the 3 year programme our students graduate along with other IT students.

The aim of the programme is to make each of our students as independent as possible and ready to make important life choices. Each participant follows their own individualised plan and is fully supported by staff to achieve their full potential. This is delivered through education, life skills training and work experience.

Over the past year, some new initiatives have been introduced, eg, Skills for Life participants are now involved in a Personal Training Programme which involves them working with the Health and Leisure students at the Institute on a one-to-one basis. They have a choice of activities including the gym and the pool.
