The Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS) provides courses of up to two years duration for people who are 21 years of age or over, and who are at least six months unemployed. The end of year annual survey conducted by ETBs showed that on 31 December 2013 there were 5,649 participants on VTOS with 1,040 of these under 25. Further details on the number of those under 25 who enrolled in 2013 are not available.
