Skill Up – Flexible Skills Fund

SKILL UP CAMPAIGN

The Skill Up - Flexible Skills Fund has been established to help upskill and reskill individuals to meet the needs of the economy as we emerge from the pandemic and continue to grow the economy beyond it.

It is designed to boost participation in lifelong learning and reduce key skills imbalances in areas where there are skills shortages. Southern Regional College offer a wide range of courses through the Skill Up programme, all of which are fully funded by the Department for the Economy.
