FÁS Community Employment 

One of the main supports of Carlow Regional Youth Service for the past fourteen years has been the FÁS Community Employment programme. All the support activities of the organisation have been carried out by the staff employed under this programme.

Clerical, administration and reception work have provided much need assistance to the Youth Service and opportunities for the employees to gain valuable experience and training in this area.

Community Employment personnel provide support work in the following areas:

  • Afterschool’s clubs
  • Youth Groups
  • Summer Camps
  • Mini Camps
  • Teenage Youth Projects
  • Pre-school, playgroup and crèche support
  • Support for local community groups

Experience in these areas has motivated participants to undertake further training and in some cases return to education in order to pursue careers in some of these areas.

During 2006 participants received nationally recognised qualifications in these areas.

Support and maintenance staff involved in housekeeping have helped keep the building to a standard that both staff and clients deserve.

Other areas where training was availed of included:

  • E.C.D.L.
  • Payroll
  • Accounts
  • Desktop Publishing
  • Fire Safety Skills
  • First Aid
  • Child care
  • Personnel development
