Transition Year Resources and Intiatives
| The Transition Year Programme promotes the personal, social, vocational and educational development of students and prepares them for their role as autonomous, participative and responsible members of society (Transition Year Guidelines, 1994, Department of Education). It is a one year programme taken after the Junior Certificate and before the Leaving Certificate Programme. Some schools offer the TY programme to all students while some have a limited number of places for which students must apply.
