Wexford Local Development invites applications from Training Providers/Self-employed Tutors for the delivery of Training Programmes

Wexford Local Development is funded by a number of Government agencies and Departments to deliver a range of programmes, which address poverty, unemployment and educational disadvantage, and to promote social inclusion through community development approaches in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.

Our Core purpose is “To create opportunities that promote equality and improve quality of life for people and communities.”

The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) 2024-2028 provides funding to tackle poverty and social exclusion at a local level through local engagement and partnerships between disadvantaged individuals, community organisations and public sector agencies. SICAP is a targeted, holistic programme, for those who are most disadvantaged and less likely to access mainstream services, which provides supports directly to beneficiaries and links them into existing services.
