Ireland was transformed as a society by the introduction of free second-level education almost 60 years ago. It enabled children to build careers based on the pen rather than the shovel but left in its wake an unhealthy focus on the third-level academic pathway through the CAO application system as the preferred option of most parents for their children.

Staff, members and volunteers from Galway School Leaver Service IWA will be doing exactly that to raise vital funds for their school leavers service in Galway.

Galway City Community Training Centre provides early school leavers with the skills, knowledge, and self-confidence to gain nationally recognised qualifications and progress to employment, further training, and education.

School leavers and mature students who are considering Galway Community College as their further education destination in September 2019 can apply and register online now on all QQI accredited courses. All courses offer a mix of practical and portfolio work and work experience. They are designed as a step towards skilled employment or progression to higher education institutes. There are no CAO points required for further education courses and after completion you can apply for more than 1,200 CAO courses that accept a QQI award for progression purposes.
