The purpose of the programme is to promote maturity in studies, in relation to work and careers, in personal opportunities and in social skills.
Each school devises its own TY programme in the light of the Transition Year Guidelines and the Resource Material published by the Department of Education and Science.
Most programmes work towards a balance between some continuation of essential core subjects and a variety of distinctive courses designed to broaden students horizons as well as promoting the maturity that is central to the whole Transition Year ideal.
