Thu 11 Nov 2008Digital centre to train 700 unemployed
A NEW digital education and recreation centre, which aims to train 600-700 unemployed or underemployed people and to have "at least 50" of them in full-time jobs in the next year, was opened yesterday in Dublin's inner city.
The digital centre, in the St Teresa's Gardens flat complex, was opened by the Minister of State with responsibility for the National Drugs Strategy, John Curran. Equipped with new computers and high-speed broadband, it is one of 25 such centres that have been established in disadvantaged areas of the inner city on the initiative of the Dublin Institute of Technology and with part-funding from Dublin City Council and the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
