Community Training

Galway and Roscommon ETB supports community-based groups to undertake Local Training Initiatives (LTIs) to provide a range of learner-centred training and related services to assist individuals to enter or re-enter the labour market. Local Training Initiatives address the identified training needs of groups and individuals experiencing exclusion and labour market disadvantage and are full time programmes.

We also support Specialist Training Providers (STPs) in the provision of learner-focused training and related services to assist individuals to enter or re-enter the labour market. Specialist Training Providers address the identified training needs of people with disabilities who are experiencing exclusion and labour market disadvantage.
