| Bi-Annual National Skillnets Conference 2008 |
| We were very excited to have been invited to
attend the bi-annual National Skillsnet Conference at Croke
Park on 7th May. |
 |
The theme, Real People, Real Skills, Real Business
was brought to life with a myriad stories highlighting the success
of the Skillnet program in different sectors.
Much was made, by all the speakers, of the current economic climate and how,
now more than ever, it was necessary to train in order to effectively compete.
Or as the keynote speaker, Anne Hearty of CPL Resources made clear, training
is not optional, it is necessary. If you want to know more about the conference,
the speakers or Skillnets in general, please visit the skillnet
