Alternative Learning Pathways Project

What is Alternative Learning Pathways?

Alternative Learning Pathways is an educational programme catering for young people between the ages of 12 and 16 who are out of school or at risk of being out of school. The programme supports young people by trying to meet their educational, social and personal needs.

Our aim is to offer a supportive environment for young people with the objective of assisting them either in a phased re-entry to school or entry to an alternative education or training facility. We provide:

  • An open and friendly environment for young people to build up their confidence and to learn at their own pace in small groups in a way that suits them
  • Opportunities to participate in sporting and social activities
  • Opportunities to gain Junior Certificate and FETAC qualifications in a relaxed and friendly environment
  • Educational Guidance
  • Music and other activities
