Allowances for participants in the Vocational Training Opportunity Scheme (VTOS) will be reduced in line with Social Welfare rates. Allowances for participants in Youthreach and Senior Traveller Training Centres (STTCs) will be reduced in line with FÁS trainee allowances. Formal confirmation of the revised rates of allowances has been sought from the Department of Social and Family Affairs and FÁS and is expected very shortly. VECs will then be advised of the revised rates.
