Despite difficult Economic times, Gaeltachtaí na Mumhan Skillnet has shown that the network is still in a strong position and is well positioned for the challenges that lie ahead in 2009. Membership of the network is now at 138% (248 companies).  Training Days (Non-LBS & LBS) are at 92% and 81% respectively.  This is extraordinary considering that these targets are two Year targets (2008/2009).

Dear business owner/manager,

Being acutely aware of the various challenges facing businesses in the present environment -  Gaeltachtaí na Mumhan Skillnet have secured the necessary funding for 2009 wholly dedicated to the individual and specific requirements of your business. 

With a maximum of 90% of the cost of training available to your business I hope you will take the necessary time to read through this short note and the accompanying questionnaire (Please see link below). 

A mid-project independent evaluation report on the Gaeltachtaí na Mumhan Skillnet has shown that the network is in a wonderful starting position for the challenges that lie ahead in 2009. The membership of the network in its first year of operation (190 companies) exceeded the two year target and the majority of these companies have already engaged in at least one of the 65 training programmes undertaken in 2008.
