Alternative Learning Pathways Project

What is the Alternative Learning Pathways Project?

The Alternative Learning Pathway Project is an educational programme catering for young people aged 15 years and over, who are out of school or at risk of being out of school. The project delivers a part time junior certificate programme and is delivered under the Back to Education Initiative. The project is funded under the jobs initiative 2011.
