Most of the resources in Measure 2.5 will support initiatives in secondary schools.  However, a small portion of the funds will be available for infrastructure support to the voluntary and community sector delivering European Social Fund (ESF) funded training projects under Measures 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.6 and 2.8.
