Horse Racing Ireland (HRI), through its Careers and Racing Education (CARE) department has established an Education and Training Grant programme to provide assistance to professional jockeys.

The grant programme will make a contribution towards the cost of any Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) accredited course and is part of CARE’s commitment to help jockeys to develop their skills and qualifications for their current role, or to help them prepare for life and work outside race riding.
