The Government has announced that 6,100 new college places are being made available to unemployed people who want to upskill through the “Springboard” programme.
The free places are being offered on 171 higher education courses leading to awards at certificate, degree and post-graduate level. Springboard is primarily targeted at jobseekers with a previous history of employment.
The majority of courses are part-time. To be eligible to participate on a part-time Springboard course an applicant must be a jobseeker.
21 of Springboard courses on offer are free, full-time skills conversion courses in the area of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). These conversion courses are open to all suitably qualified applicants, regardless of employment status.
Over 16,000 people have taken part in Springboard courses since 2011.
