The Education Skills Learning Opportunities (ESLO) programme is a Local Training Initiative designed to empower young people aged 16 to 25 by offering them the chance to return to education and enhance their skills across various fields. Through personalised support, learners are guided to identify their unique goals and are provided with the tools they need to succeed—whether by securing employment or pursuing further education upon completion of the programme.

ESLO is funded by Louth and Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB) and delivered by Drogheda Youth Development CLG (Boomerang Youth Service & Cafe) in a holistic, youth centred and supportive environment.
