L&D Skillnet partners with businesses of all sizes to identify and support companies to develop the skills they need to succeed. We work closely with industry, creating upskilling programmes and funding opportunities which are responsive to business needs and designed to develop future-ready talent.
I am really privileged and grateful to be on the MSc in Strategic L&D. If it wasn’t for the support from the L&D Skillnet, I could not have accessed the programme. The funding offered by Skillnet Ireland is key to agreeing support and sponsorship for programmes within the organisation.
