What they do

Rural Enterprise Skillnet is a multi-sector learning network for indigenous micro and small-to-medium enterprises of all sizes in the North West region, promoted by MED Rural Development Company Ltd and based in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal. Member companies work collaboratively to identify shared local skills needs and respond with training that is more accessible, affordable and effective than options individual businesses could arrange alone. The network's listed training categories cover agriculture, business, construction, forestry, green energy, hospitality and management, addressing both technical and non-technical skill requirements across these industries. It also participates in the Skills Connect initiative. Membership gives both individuals and companies access to subsidised training courses, with the stated aim of increasing employability for individuals and productivity, communication and teamwork for company staff. Businesses interested in joining can review programme categories on the website and contact the network office by phone or email to discuss membership and training options.
