License to Drive and Work Program

The License to Drive and Work program, a collaboration between Dungannon West Renewal, South West College, and the Department for Social Development, has proven to be a transformative initiative for local youth. Participants earned OCN Level 2 qualifications, a CIEH Level 2 Award in Food Safety, and Emergency First Aid at Work certification. The program provided essential driving lessons, vehicle rental, and costs for tests. With a focus on addressing high youth unemployment and educational disengagement, this project aims to broaden horizons and encourage skill development within the community.
