Our Social Impact

Under our social impact goals we are developing a number of programmes to address the skills shortages in the labour market and the disconnect between midlife candidates looking to resume employment following a career break and the actual opportunities available to them.

Our Goals

Advance the demonstrated value of midlife workers to Ireland’s economy and society and support midlife workers to gain sustainable and meaningful employment opportunities.
