Springboard 2017/2018
Building our future
LYIT in conjunction with the Springboard and ICT Skills Conversion programmes have offered a large number of free places to job seekers over the last six years. The Springboard and ICT Skills Conversion programmes are co-funded from the ESF Programme for Employability, Inclusion and Learning (PEIL) 2014-2020. The aim of these programmes is to provide learning and training opportunities for job seekers to upskill in areas identified as having skill shortages and therefore enable jobseekers achieve sustainable future employment.
