Description:

National Learning Network  (NLN) Centre in Sligo is based in Bridge Street, Sligo. The centre provides training funded by MSLETB and the HSE for persons out of work through accident, illness, or disability.  The service offers training opportunities to more than 100 people throughout the Sligo/ Leitrim region, who may have been finding it difficult to access further education, training and employment. The people who use NLN’s services need specialist supports for a range of reasons. We work with people who experience health conditions, illness, disability, mental health difficulty, trauma, addiction, economic isolation or challenging life circumstances. We support people to make successful transitions, whatever their stage in life. We can help with transition from school to the adult environment, with access to vocational training and education, with getting a job, recovery and wellness, improving people’s health, enhancing quality of life and achieving successful inclusion in the community
