LTI (Local Training Initiatives)
About this Service
The Local Training Initiative (LTI) Programme is a community based training course, primarily for unemployed individuals aged between 18-35.
These initiatives are designed to empower, build on personal development and encourage participation and learning. The LTI programme is developed to learners who may require additional support to access and undertake training as part of their agreed pathway to work or further education.
The programme is designed to provide opportunities for learners who are unable to participate in other training for personal, social, and geographic reasons.
CDYS provides programmes in Midleton & Macroom.


OUR SERVICES
CDYS Good Lives Project – Macroom
The Local Training Initiative project in Macroom aims to works with people who are unemployed in the area. The project focuses on the personal development and motivation of participants identifying the opportunity for learners to engage in a range of education modules (QQI Level 3 Major Award Employability Skills), work related activities as well as occupational activities through partnership with a local gym.
The mix of modules and experiences will motivate team work, personal development and the mixture of health-related activities and food science and horticulture will provide a holistic and balanced approach to well-being and health.
Feedback from previous participants has shown that the link between health and fitness, and food and horticulture is one that assists in motivation and engagement. This in turn will allow participants to look towards sport, recreation or leisure industry or the food or services industry. Both industries are well established in Macroom and will provide good work opportunities for learners.
