Abstract :

As Ireland’s only business support agency dedicated to workforce development, we put enterprise in control of the process. We partner with over 57 industry bodies that are either sectoral or geographically based and foster a networked and partnership-based approach that leverages Ireland’s open culture of collaboration. Skillnet Ireland operates on a joint investment model, where Government grants are combined with contributions from enterprise, thus reducing costs and other barriers for businesses. Encouraging enterprise to lead the process in this way helps ensure that programmes delivered through Skillnet Ireland are highly relevant to the needs of industry. This approach also enables cohesive enterprise networking and the flexibility to respond to ever-changing skills demands through both formal and informal learning. Skillnet Ireland has received international recognition as a best practice model from the EU, the OECD, the ILO, amongst others. We are ambitious for Ireland. We are ambitious for Irish enterprise.
