their learning in an area that reflects their interests and abilities.

Welcome from the Director of Training
and Employment, Rehab Group.
National Learning Network is an internationally recognised leader in the provision of high quality, accredited training
and specialist support to people who are distant from the labour market. We have centres in almost every county in
Ireland. Every day, thousands of people come to our training courses, with nine out of ten people who complete our
courses progressing to employment or further training and education.
At this time of economic difficulty, everyone is finding it more difficult to enter the workforce. National Learning
Network has a wealth of knowledge and experience of supporting people who might find it difficult to gain
employment to develop the skills to move forward with their careers. Every year, 5,000 people come to learn and
study with us and can undertake a course in a way that meets their needs.
You can access our training programmes in a variety of ways: in your local centre; with a local employer; or even from
the comfort of your own home. All National Learning Network courses are funded through FÁS or the Health Service
Executive and therefore students receive an allowance for participation in our courses. Our person-centred approach to
training is at the heart of everything we do, this is reflected in our Individual Action Plans (IAPs) which means that you,
the learner, are central to this process and the service that we provide.
Each member of National Learning Network’s staff is encouraged to take part in relevant continuous professional
developmental programmes to ensure that our courses and methods of delivery reflect the best national and
international practice. In this respect we are very proud that we recently achieved the FÁS Excellence Through People
Award at Gold Level. This result places National Learning Network among the top 10% companies in Ireland who have
achieved this award to date.
National Learning Network works closely with a wide range of government departments, agencies, employers and local
community organisations. I want to thank our partners for supporting us and indeed in challenging us to review and
improve our services. National Learning Network is committed to continuing to work closely with key agencies to assist
with the achievement of the Government’s target of placing 7,000 more people with disabilities in employment in
coming years.
We are committed to supporting our learners to develop their skills and to achieve their potential. I am confident that
we have a course to suit you and I hope that the time you spend with us is both rewarding and enjoyable.
