Here are some of the things people have said about us…

”I met with Deirdre in the IDP offices and was delighted to find someone so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure when I went what I was looking for but I came away from the meeting excited about all the options for courses that I could go for. It’s a great service and I would recommend it to anyone.”

Breege McCarron / Donegal

”Every door that has opened for me has all stemmed from my training with Donegal ETB.”

Lewis Regan / Specific Skills Training

”Youthreach was a good platform for me to get into college. Everybody has different routes in life. If school doesn’t work out it’s not the end of the world. I loved my time at Youthreach. As long as you make use of all the opportunities that are there for you, I would say 100% do it.”

Carmel Doherty / Youthreach
