SKILLS TO ADVANCE

Skills to Advance is a national initiative that provides upskilling and reskilling opportunities to employees in jobs undergoing change and to those currently employed in vulnerable sectors. It aims to equip employees with the skills they need to progress in their current role or to adapt to the changing job market. 

For qualifying companies there is no monetary costs for Skills to Advance training programmes. LWETB’s Enterprise Engagement Unit works with other stakeholders including Regional Skills Forum Midlands, Enterprise Ireland, IDA, LEO, Chamber of Commerce, and the DEASP to support skills development in the Midlands.
