Sector Skills has resulted in a suite of new programmes which will strengthen community and voluntary organisations’ ability to access information on, and participate in, training courses in a more effective way.

The Sector Skills initiative involves three linked elements:

  1. Web-based information about training opportunities , enabling people to access up-to-date, relevant data on appropriate and suitable training. www.learningpoint.ie

  2. Training Networks Programme , providing supports, resources and advice to organisations to enable them to participate in relevant, flexible and cost effective training.

  3. Leadership and Development training , specifically geared towards people in leadership positions in community and voluntary organisations.
