The Targeted Youth Employability Support Initiative (TYESI) provides funding to youth services to support young people aged 15 to 24 years who are not currently in education, training or employment.
TYESI was first introduced in 2021, as the ‘Targeted Youth Employability Support Initiative 2021-2022’. This initiative as evaluated in 2023, with recommendations informed the development of the new 2024 scheme.
My Department issued communication to all Education and Training Boards (ETBs) regarding TYESI on Friday 9thFebruary. The ETBs will advertise the application process for the TYESI in their functional areas and inform prospective applicants of the local closing date. Applicants will apply through the ETBs.
