Employer Based Training
EBT is an innovative training programme that allows people to train in an employer's business or company while still enjoying all the supports that exist in the training centre.

The student will spend 4 days a week with the employer and 1 day a week in the centre.

Options
Options is a rehabilitative training programme that allows students to access a wide variety of training areas with individual supports in the training centre. This will assist them to make the most of these opportunities. Options allows the trainees to work on a range of skills: vocational, occupational and personal. These skills help to develop the knowledge, confidence and resources needed to access employment, further training and options in the wider community.
