90% of adults with Down syndrome are unemployed in Ireland.

We see ability. We will change this.

Climb, soar, believe, achieve.

Together Academy is a unique college and social enterprise in Dublin. We provide young adults with certified training, practical work experience, employment opportunities and a critical social and support network. Currently, 90% of adults with Down syndrome in Ireland are not in paid employment. Together, we will change that statistic.
