Support Services
At Kerry Community Training Centre we know that life isn’t always smooth. Sometimes learners face problems, at home, in their personal lives, or with confidence and planning. We’re committed to helping you through those moments, so you can stay focused on learning and building a better future.
On-site Counselling
Trained, professional counsellors are available on-site to support learners who are going through personal or emotional difficulties. Whether it’s a crisis, stress or something else, you don’t have to face it alone. Help is available in a safe, confidential space.
Mentoring Programme
Our mentoring programme is a collaborative project with Kerry Education and Training Board. It works like personal career guidance: we help you find out what interests you, what you’re good at, and support you with applications or next-step plans, whether that’s further training, education or job opportunities. We aim to guide you forward at your own pace.
