re-enter the workforce.

What is Skills Connect?
Skills Connect is an initiative developed by Skillnet Ireland to support people who are out of work to return to the workforce. It’s aim is to rapidly reskill the workers who have been most affected by COVID-19. It does this by providing free online training programmes that have been developed by each training network, to meet the needs of both the businesses and the individuals of that sector.
Through Skills Connect, individuals can enhance their job prospects by refreshing existing skill sets and expertise, or by learning new skills. Each programme includes practical work placements, to help the individual gain confidence in their new skill.
Businesses can gain from the talent and skills that the individuals have honed, which are essential for future success.
