A special celebration was held last week in Buncrana to recognise 15 young students from across Inishowen who received certificates for successfully completing a new personal skills and development programme.
CHANCE, organised and run by the Inishowen Development Partnership, was funded to enable young people to develop skills and training that will help them progress into further education or employment.
Having achieved success in the cross-community programme, the 15 students, who were not in education or employment when the course began, now plan on moving on to new opportunities opened to them.
The 18-month scheme covered areas such as mental health, good relations, life skills, communication workshops and work experience in industry sectors such as electronics, food and nutrition, and health and beauty.
