Strategic Focus Areas
Skillnet Ireland will focus on four strategic areas to support the competitiveness of Irish businesses through upskilling.
For businesses today, embracing technology is a need rather than a choice. Whether you’re developing tech skills for your team, taking your business online or embracing the latest automation technology, our Skillnet Business Networks can support you on your digital journey.
As one of the greatest social, cultural and economic transformations, the importance of sustainable development will impact every business. Through our dedicated upskilling programmes and supports, delivered through our Networks and Initiatives, Skillnet Ireland supports businesses to develop the range of sustainability skills needed to be climate ready.
Competing globally demands unique skills. We support SMEs, large indigenous companies and multinational companies in Ireland in understanding the changing skills landscape and create bespoke talent strategies – empowering them to innovate, grow and achieve their business goals.
Effective leadership is vital for a business. Our Skillnet Business Networks and our dedicated Skillnet MentorsWork programme offer bespoke support to help you understand and develop the leadership capabilities you and your team need to succeed.
Ambitious For Ireland
“We are ambitious for Ireland and for Irish enterprise and our new strategy reflects the need for Ireland to have a highly skilled and agile workforce. Skillnet Ireland will drive that agenda, both in terms of increasing numbers of businesses supported and expanding into new areas. We are doing this by setting ourselves ambitious targets, focused on the three key themes of Workforce Design, People Development and Strategic Innovation.”
- Brendan McGinty, Chairperson, Skillnet Ireland
A Strategy Informed
by Enterprise
This Statement of Strategy was informed by an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation. Skillnet Ireland, together with our industry partners, look forward to working with businesses to support the talent demands for a more digital future and building a low-carbon and sustainable economy. The strategic themes will be delivered through clear and ambitious actions, so that we can make a significant impact on the productivity and innovation of businesses in Ireland.
