Skillnet Ireland is a business support agency of the Government of Ireland. The primary objective of Skillnet Ireland is to advance the competitiveness, productivity and innovation of businesses operating in Ireland through enterprise-led workforce development.
Skillnet Ireland supports businesses to become more competitive, by providing the right upskilling and reskilling solutions for their employees. We also encourage people to develop skills they need to thrive personally, and in their chosen careers.
Skillnet Ireland works on a system of joint investment: businesses access training by combining a Government grant with their own contribution – greatly reducing costs and other barriers.
All private sector businesses of any size, including sole traders, that are based in the Republic of Ireland are eligible to undertake part-funded upskilling with Skillnet Ireland.
