Our Partnership with Skillnet Ireland
What is Skillnet?
Skillnet Ireland is an agency established by the Irish government to “increase participation in enterprise training by businesses”. However, instead of being a large, government body, the Skillnet is made up of over seventy individual organizations, each targeting a particular industry sector, or geographical region. These use networking and a partnership approach to fund training for small to medium-sized enterprises that was previously only affordable by the larger organizations.

Velopi's Relationship with Skillnet
Velopi leverages Skillnets’ national training fund to offer commercially viable project management courses, benefiting both smaller organizations and individuals. This support enables continuous professional development and skill enhancement, crucial for those employed or unemployed. Participants gain project management knowledge and credentials like PMP®, boosting their career prospects. Velopi’s tailored training, relevant across various sectors, is enhanced through the Skillnet business network, fostering industry-wide networking and growth.
Our Skillnet Partners
Velopi is working with over twenty Skillnets to provide continuous professional development and upskilling to small and mostly indigenous organizations in Ireland. Our Skillnet partners can be classified into those with a national perspective – usually ones focused on a particular industry – and those with a regional focus – intent on providing a wide range of professional training to their partners in a specific region.

You can be a member of several Skillnet organizations at once.
These organizations advertise upcoming courses and you will be invited to attend, or send key members of your staff on these courses. The training provider will be included in the course description, so look out for Velopi when you are considering project management training.
