ONLINE RESOURCES FOR SECOND LEVEL SCHOOLS

We have adapted a number of resources from our JA Programmes for use in self-directed learning and to help students #keeplearning at home. Click on the images below to open a downloadable version of the resources.

The resources are all aligned with the formal curriculum, easy-to-use and have been successfully facilitated by thousands of volunteers in schools nationwide.

In partnership with Accenture, JA’s employability programme integrates the Accenture Skills to Succeed Academy (S2S), a digital platform for use by senior cycle second level students.
