Monaghan Institute – Delivering Courses to Support People who have lost their Jobs

Cavan and Monaghan ETB and SOLAS have rolled out a new initiative, called Skills to Compete, to support people who have lost their jobs as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic; and Monaghan Institute will play an integral role in delivering this provision locally.

Responding to the recent increase in people who have joined the live register, the programmes at Monaghan Institute aim to support learners, identify any skill gaps they may have and provide targeted modules to enhance their C.V. This will enable them to compete for the jobs that will become available as the economy strengthens or in areas where other opportunities exist.
