Dublin Business School (DBS), in conjunction with the Higher Education Authority (HEA) under the Government Springboard+ initiative, is providing people who are receiving the various accepted Social Welfare payments (as listed on the Springboard+ website), the opportunity to re-skill or up-skill for free under a range of approved and accredited courses.
These courses will provide training that will improve the future skills of the labour force, in a range of sectors where sustainable employment is predicted to rise as the economy recovers.
We are offering a range of Special Purpose Awards at Level 6 and 7 on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) for the unemployed in various sectors including the areas of Information & Communications Technology, Cross Enterprise Skills and International Financial Services sector.
All courses are flexible, allowing you to keep your social protection supports and making a transition to study easier for those with families and other responsibilities. You can also continue the course if you become employed after the course starts and work towards receiving your free qualification!
