The City of Limerick VEC has published a directory of adult learning opportunities for its catchment area. The directory is free and provides a comprehensive listing of courses covering subjects as diverse as the performing arts, information technology and arts and crafts. Information on student grants and Junior and Leaving Certificate programmes is provided as is a run down on the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme (VTOS). This offers a full-time, second chance learning opportunity to those who are unemployed. Those participating on VTOS courses continue to receive their welfare benefits and a meal, travel and childcare allowance is also provided. Copies of the directory are available from the Adult Education Department at Presentation Court, Sexton Street, Limerick, telephone (061) 400333. The acting adult education officer is Mary Hamilton.
