Tipperary ETB’s Construction Skills and English Language Training project is funded to provide Migrant Traineeships and English Language training to meet construction skills shortages.

The aim is to train a workforce available through International Protection and Beneficiaries of Temporary protection (BoTP) applicants, unemployed persons, those affected by the peat bog closures, and marginalised people in our communities that are resident in the Just Transition Area of Thurles and Carrick-on-Suir Municipal Districts.

The project is being led by the Tipperary ETB in partnership with Tipperary County Council, and in consultation with the Construction Industry Federation of Ireland.
