The JCSP Programme is a national programme sponsored by the DES and National Council for Curriculum and Assessment. It supplements the current Junior Cert Programme and is based on the concept that all young people are capable of success.
The JCSP programme creates many opportunities for students to experience success and it supports positive self-esteem.
On completion of the programme students receive a profile which is a record of their success and achievement from the DES.
