Southern Tipperary Skillnet

Southern Tipperary Skillnet has been awarded a new contract to provide enterprise led training.  The organisation, operated by Clonmel Chamber, is regarded as one of the most successful networks in the country.

Network Manager Jackie Ryan was delighted with the decision.  “This is great news for us and local companies.   We provide enterprise led training to satisfy company needs.  Our ability to part fund training for companies has never been as relevant as it is now” she said.  President of the Chamber and Chair of the Skillnet Steering group, Tina Mulhearne also emphasised the availability of part funding for companies “the last two years we have worked with over two hundred companies, we are aiming to further expand this by providing training for more local companies”.

The Southern Tipperary Skillnet provides enterprise led training.  In short, it offers training based on the demands of companies.  Organisations with training needs should contact Southern Tipperary Skillnet at Clonmel Chamber on 052 61 26500 for an initial discussion.
