On the 23rd of March, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD opened the first-ever FET Green Skills Summit. The summit was held in Wexford County Hall by SOLAS, ETBI and Waterford Wexford ETB.
Speaking at the event, Minister Harris said: “Today is an important step in our response to the challenge of climate change and the targets we have set for ourselves at a national level. We have to make sure that we have the right training on offer and that we are attracting people to avail of places. That’s why the offering developed here in WWETB is so important.”
Speaking ahead of the event Andrew Brownlee, CEO of SOLAS, remarked: “At this Summit, we look forward to presenting on and discussing how the further education and training sector can expand on the work we are already doing to equip people across Ireland with the right skills to contribute to the transition to a greener economy.”
