Maeve Costello of @ibec speaks about the skills mis-match challenge facing employers as they prepare to invest in upskilling and reskilling of their workforces. The #NFQ20 certainly has a role to play in them understanding the learning outcomes of the qualifications achieved.

@andrewbrownlee7 @SOLASFET Congratulations Andrew and all the team. Important to celebrate this significant milestone

Huge potential in the National Training Fund to support business develop and acquire the critical skills for digitalisation and climate action. Legislation change is necessary to unlock this essential finance. This signal is move in the right direction. #Budget24 @ibec_irl

[Gerard Brady @GerardBrady100]

Great to see a commitment to legislative change if needed to unlock the €1.5 bn surplus in the National Training Fund. Will continue to work with Gov to get that over the line and invest in Higher Ed, FET and skills. The importance of which can't be understated #Budget2024

[Claire McGee @ClaireRDI]

Currently reflecting on the recent OECD Review of Skills in Ireland for new @ibec_irl policy paper, and it also confirms how skills are critical to leadership capability and innovation capacity across the economy, which all make Ireland a better place to live, work and invest.

[Irish Universities Assoc. @IUAofficial]

Why we bother funding universities... “The university itself may not directly improve the performance of the economy, but it does improve the skills of the people who do.”

Along with @ibec_irl we are pushing for the surplus of the NTF to be put to good use by supporting our universities to deliver more high-skilled graduates with #WorkReadySkills & meeting skills-gaps.
