If you have recently arrived in Ireland from another country, this may be a challenging time as you try to figure out the best opportunities not just for yourself but your family and loved ones. As well as learning English, you will find it useful to sign up for one of the many training courses being run locally, some of which can greatly improve your employment chances. These courses are also an ideal way to meet new people and build support networks.    

Whether it’s gaining the necessary skills you need to become ready for the workplace or widening your social circle by getting more involved in community events, a training programme could be your first step on the road to a better life in County Laois.
