Then a visit to the Progression Pathways Fair at The Rose Hotel Tralee on Friday 31 January between 11am and 4:30pm is for you.

Over 500 people attended last year’s event, which proved an ideal opportunity to discover the range of supports, training and education opportunities available. This FREE event will have over 20 stands on the day offering information about supports from the Department of Employment Affairs & Social Protection (DEASP), EmployAbility Services Kerry, National Learning Network, IT Tralee, Jobs Clubs, Local Employment Services, Assistive Technology, Irish National Organisation for Unemployed, Studio 3, Specialisterne, Local Disability Support Services, Local Development Services and many more.

Feedback from last year’s event highlighted some strong support for a forum such as Progressive Pathways. A survey conducted on the day revealed that 66 percent of respondents rated the event as ‘excellent’ with 25 percent ranking it as ‘very good’, while 9 percent stated it was ‘good’.

Additional services available on the day will include an autism friendly room, sign language interpreters, interactive assistive technology display and wheel chair access. For more information email: losullivan@employabilitykerry.ie or call 066 7118758.
