The Youthreach programme is a national programme of education and training for early school leavers.  

The Youthreach programme provides two years integrated education, training and work experience for unemployed early school leavers without any qualifications or vocational training, who are between 16 and 21 years of age. The programme offers participants the opportunity to identify and pursue viable options within adult life, provides them with opportunities to acquire certification, and includes a work experience element to prepare participants for progression on to further study, training or working life. 

I outline below the capacity identified in each of the Youthreach centres in Co Waterford.
