The Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) is a full-time second chance education initiative designed specifically for unemployed persons over 21 years of age. Its primary target groups are the longer-term unemployed, the low-skilled and the disadvantaged.
Latest figures (1 January 2010) indicate that there are 861 VTOS participants (359 males and 502 females) under 25 years of age.
