Success Stories

Q. What is Success ?

It is hard to find one single answer to this simple question.

  • Firstly it is not found in examinations passed or the number of certificates awarded.
  • Perhaps the answer can be found in our own journey of self discovery as we become aware of our own strengths.
  • The sense of personal fulfilment when we achieve the goals we have set for ourselves.
  • Our determination to overcome obstacles in our way.
  • Our ability to make new friends.

Capricorn Stained Glass

Declan Hally had been unemployed for over two years and felt his working life was over until, luckily, he heard of VTOS by word of mouth. He got in touch with the co-ordinator and enrolled for a two year course.

Declan completed a course on Information Technology and Stained Glass. He also undertook a Mini-Enterprise Programme. He picked up on Stained Glass very quickly and found that he was able to start up in business with the help of the courses he had undertaken.

He has now opened a workshop in Moyasta, Co. Clare "Capricorn Stained Glass" where he creates many different pieces. When we visited Declan he allowed us to browse through the shop where there was a wonderful selection of stained glass on display, all of which are his own work. Visitors are always welcome.
