Ballyfermot It Centre

ballyfermot information technology was established in 1999 in response to an identified need for local it training to assist the local community, residents, and local groups and organisations that were excluded from it. through information technology our goals are to assist people from various sectors of the community to gain the new ict literacy skills needed in this information technology age. ict skills enable the whole community to communicate in a dynamic and equal way assisting in the personal, educational and social development. in 2006 the centre became a community service project funded under the department of community, rural and gaeltacht affairs with a new company name of ballyfermot it centre social economy ltd. we have responded to the needs of our community by networking with new partners and developing new services to provide the requisite skills training for those who have become distanced from the labour market through loss of work, social or economic background. cont
