A Deaf Young People's Training Programme

FYDs successes in the Training Programme has never failed to receive a large attraction of Deaf and Hearing people, but there are present trends of young people within our society which have an indirect effect in meeting their training requirements. This survey of the Training Programme and the national trends will hopefully result in a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis and eventually, to meet their needs. After four years of experience in delivering these training courses, I am now able to say, that certain numbers of some Deaf and Hearing trainees have not shown the necessary progression through the programme and that this is possibly due to their diversity of linguistic skills and envisage an additional section in the Training Programme.
