Rural Enterprise Skillnet is delighted to announce the launch of our Women in Construction Programme.

Having secured funding under ESF+ we are pleased to welcome any unemployed women as potential participants in this fully funded programme. ESF+ programmes are aimed at fostering lifelong learning and skills development.

This programme will offer you an opportunity for a new career path and provide the essential skills and certification required in the construction sector.

All participants will undertake a 4-week work placement following the completion of the 6-week training programme to gain practical experience and the opportunity to showcase their skills to potential employers.

The holistic approach to the programme offers the opportunity to launch a new career path and overcome barriers and challenges in this sector. A full-time programme Monday-Friday (times will vary between training and placement) is offered in Letterkenny, Co Donegal.
