St Joseph's Training Centre was established in 1988 to cater for the education needs of the travelling community in the County Leitrim area.

The programme is delivered over 41.5 weeks for two years and this training period can be extended if necessary to facilitate access to leaving certificate qualifications or equivalent.
The programme integrates core skills with all aspects of travellers' experience. Programmes place a key emphasis on the key skills of literacy, numeracy, communications and new technology, while providing a range of vocational options allied with a work experience programme. The programme is designed to be flexible to respond to the needs, talents and interests identified by travellers and also to reflect their cultural identity.
