WORKING WITH EMPLOYERS
Donegal ETB provides a wide range of services to employers and we are committed to providing courses relevant to the needs of industry.
Under the Skills to Advance Initiative and Skills for Work Programme, Donegal ETB can offer targeted support for vulnerable groups in the workforce, particularly those with lower skill levels who need more opportunities to advance in their working lives. Supports are available for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) who need some assistance to invest in and develop their workforce. We can also arrange to deliver bespoke programmes for employees in individual companies or groups of companies.
You’ll find more information in our Employer Services brochure which you can download here.
