This report concerns the Return to Education initiative which has been designed to meet the basic education needs of Community Employment (CE) participants. There have been three parties to the initiative, FÁS, VECs in each local area and NALA which instigated the first Return to Education programmes in 1998 and which has been fulfilling a support role since then. The purpose of this report is to provide a resource and a guide to individuals and organisations who will be involved in implementing Return to Education programmes in the future.
