The quota of staff with disabilities which a local authority is obliged to employ is rarely filled, but Ballyfermot College of Further Education has come up with what it hopes will be a solution. It is offering a business course, leading to NCVA certification, to people with a disability. In partnership with the National Training and Development Institute (NTDI), the course will concentrate on business and computing skills as well as studying the way local authorities work. An extended work module is a feature of the course, which requires applicants to have a Leaving Cert, Leaving Cert Applied or equivalent. Interviews will be held in June and application forms are now available. Further information from (01) 626 6754.
