YOUTH GUARANTEE SCHEME

If secondary school wasn’t for you, take the next step towards a career under SIT’s Youth Guarantee Scheme.

The Youth Guarantee Scheme provides a pathway from school to further study, work or training. It provides successful candidates a wider range of learning opportunities and free training and education (tuition, course materials and equipment) for one year.

SIT has a limited number of spaces available on the Youth Guarantee Scheme, and applications should be sent as early as possible before courses begin.

Note: Youth Guarantee Scheme courses may vary from year to year. Other subjects may be available dependent on funding and demand.

For more information about the Youth Guarantee Scheme, visit the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) website
