What is Skills to Advance?
Skills to Advance is an initiative which aims to equip employees with the skills they need to progress in their current role or to adapt to the changing job market.
It provides certified, part-time training opportunities for employees to upskill or reskill, particularly if their skills level is below level 5 on the National Framework of Qualifications and/or if they are:
Currently working in a lower-skilled job or
Aged 50+ or
Currently working in a job that is experiencing significant change

Working closely with small and medium-sized enterprises, Skills to Advance also helps employers identify skills needs and invest in their workforce by providing heavily subsidised education and training to eligible staff. These upskilling and reskilling options for employees create a straightforward way to help increase company productivity and competitiveness in a fast-changing business sector.
Skills to Advance provides workforce training opportunities which:
Are flexible to fit around business hours and work schedules.
Develop skills relevant to a company’s business needs.
Respond to the changing nature of jobs and skills.
Courses are offered in LMETB centres across Louth and Meath, with specific courses also offered by Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence (AMTCE) in Dundalk.
