Our aim is to restore human dignity, fight illiteracy, ignorance, poverty and hopelessness through education & skills development. At Declan Collins we achieve this through equipping young adults and youth with the practical, technical skills that can lead to gainful, formal employment. The skills we train include: motor mechanics, welding, baking & consumer sciences, arts & crafts, hairdressing, electrical studies, computing skills and merchandising. Every young person who begins our courses also complete an integrated life skills development programme to ensure that they have the necessary administrative, literary and soft skills required to find and keep a job.
