About Skillnet Ireland

Subsidised Training for Growing Businesses

Skillnet Ireland is a state body that funds enterprise-led networks to deliver subsidised training for Irish businesses. Over 19,000 companies use Skillnet networks annually, saving significantly on the cost of upskilling their teams.

Businesses that join a Skillnet network access training at subsidised rates, often 40-50% below market price. Training is enterprise-led, meaning the programmes are designed by and for businesses, not academics.

Agile Executives helps clients identify the right Skillnet network for their sector and training needs, and supports the application and onboarding process.
