A Government and Industry led event, WorldSkills Ireland 2024 is taking place from the 25th – 27th September 2024 at the RDS, Simmonscourt, and will build upon the success of previous events, when thousands of visitors, including students and their parents, gathered to see first-hand the wealth of career options available.
Announcing the return of the event, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O’Donovan, was joined by past WorldSkills Ireland competitors.
Running concurrently with Higher Options, both events aim to raise the profile and recognition of skills and apprenticeships, preparing the talent of today for the careers of the future. Supported by industry partners, SISK, Construction Industry Federation, ESB Networks, Bus Eireann, Dublin Bus and Autodesk, the event is a partnership between enterprise, industry, education, training, and government.
Commenting on the broader impact of the event, Ray English, WorldSkills Ireland-Chair/Technical Delegate, adds: “The skills shortage is one of the major challenges across all sectors today. Simply put, we need more skilled people across multiple sectors, and this event reflects the collective support from education, industry, and government.
There will be live competitions, Educator's Zone, Careers' Zone and so much more! You can find out What's On here.
