Today more than ever, training is the springboard to employment.

Training OpportunitiesThere is a wealth of training opportunities in the Blanchardstown area. An innovative programme operated by Blanchardstown Area Partnership is Fastrack to Information Technology. This programme leads to employment in the local IT sector. Blanchardstown 2001, the full-time job initiative, runs a range of training programmes. Baptec - the Blanchardstown Area Partnership computer training facility, offers the ECDL programme and will shortly be expanding its operations. The Community Employment Network Support Service is responsible for organising high quality market-led training for CE participants. VTOS - Vocational training Opportunities Scheme - is a programme designed to meet the neds of unemployed people. ABLE - Adult Basic Learning for Everyone - is the adult literacy service for the Dublin 15 area. Recently, BAP offered an interesting Teleservices training programme. It led to employment in Blanchardstown's booming call centre sector. Another recent BAP initiative has been the creation of the Learning Development Association. The LDA focusses on the development and delivery of a "core skills" package. Your Local Employment Service can advise you on a wide range of training matters.
