Youth Guarantee programmes

If you’re 16-24 years old and not at school or working, a Youth Guarantee programme is the smart way to get ahead.

Available in a wide range of subjects, these free programmes set you up with great foundation skills for employment or further study, and enable you to make confident decisions about your future.

As a Youth Guarantee student you’ll get:

  • an orientation programme which includes how to access financial assistance
  • transport support
  • extra pastoral care
  • specific cultural and learning support that’s easy to access
  • career planning and advice
  • regular activities with other Youth Guarantee students
  • access to counselling services
  • guidance as you transition into work or further tertiary study

Please note: places are limited on these courses and funding may be exhausted throughout the year. If you already have a Level 1 or 2 qualification, we may refer you to a Level 3 study option. We encourage you to apply early to secure your place.
