Transition Year programmes are designed at school level and based on a multi-layered approach. Each school designs its own Transition Year programme, within set guidelines, to suit the needs and interests of its students. In developing a programme schools are advised to take into consideration students’ needs, parents’ views, employers and the wider interests of the local community. Many organisations have contributed to the development of resources that support the exploration and development of financial literacy in Transition Year programmes.
The current policy in my Department is not to endorse any products, publications or services from individual providers and hence, it will not be possible for my Department to endorse this programme to schools.
I have asked officials in my Department to make contact directly with the organisation in question.
