Training grants announced
Howard Lake | 21 May 2006 | News
A new grants programme to support training networks worth ‚€400,000 has been opened by the Irish Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment under the National Training Fund. Grants up ‚€50,000 are available for voluntary and community organisations for either newly established or existing training networks in the Irish Republic.
Training Links will enable groups of organisations to come together as a Training Network to achieve a common purpose or address a shared issue of importance in relation to the development of skills. Each Training Network will be made up of a group of organisations which have shared training needs in the same geographic region or addressing similar issues.
This programme is based on an approach which allows organisations and their staff to decide on their own training needs, and to develop solutions to those needs. Organisations are free to choose the training methods, courses, trainers or priorities which are most relevant to them. Training Links is being administered by the Wheel.

Participating organizations are required to contribute between 15% to 50% of matching funds or in-kind towards their training programme. The closing date for Training Links is 16th June.
