IDA Ireland and Skillnet Ireland have launched a strategic talent development partnership. The partnership is aimed at supporting foreign direct investment (FDI) companies that are looking to attract and retain talent to drive business growth. The two enterprise state agencies are collaborating to develop new programmes and engagement models to assist multinational companies (MNCs) in availing of talent development initiatives offered across Skillnet Ireland's 73 networks nationwide. IDA Ireland and Skillnet Ireland talent development partnership The partnership combines the IDA's business development and support services for FDI companies with Skillnet Ireland's talent development expertise and extensive delivery network to help drive companies' growth. 275,000 people were employed by FDI companies in Ireland in 2021, accounting for nearly 12% of the total Irish workforce. Additionally, multinationals accounted for 32% of all corporate employments and paid €10.5bn in employment taxes and PRSI in 2019. The partnership kicked off with a pilot Strategic Talent Development programme for companies seeking to future-proof their workforce based on new strategic challenges and opportunities they are facing. The pilot programme ran successfully and is now up and running with companies in financial services, biopharmaceutical, aviation communications, manufacturing, and software development sectors. Speaking at the event launch, Robert Troy, Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment said: “In our current global environment, with rapid digitalisation and the need to be more environmentally sustainable, the talent and skills needed to stay apace with these important developments are continuously evolving, and it is vital that businesses can efficiently and effectively fulfil these needs. “For businesses across Ireland, particularly MNCs, the value of attracting and retaining talent cannot be understated. Ireland is renowned for developing and nurturing talent and the Government continues to prioritise responding to current and future labour market skills needs. The partnership between IDA Ireland and Skillnet Ireland is an important step to ensure Ireland remains an attractive and competitive place to live, work, and invest.” Niall Collins, Minister of State at the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science added: “I am pleased to be launching this new Strategic Partnership between Skillnet Ireland and IDA Ireland, a partnership which is critical to support the long-term success and growth of multi-national companies in Ireland through innovative and high-impact talent development programmes and initiatives. As the economy continues to grow post-pandemic, investing in and developing talent remains vital for FDI companies so they can meet their ongoing business challenges. The contribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the Irish economy is far-reaching and intrinsic to our economic development making collaborations like this all the more important to Ireland's long-term economic success.” Mary Buckley, Executive Director, IDA Ireland, said: “We are delighted to be working with Skillnet Ireland on our new Strategic Talent Development Partnership. The partnership supports IDA's clients to build a robust approach to long-term talent development that will support the sustainable growth of their Irish operations within an increasingly competitive global environment. Strategic talent development planning is increasingly important for enterprises to meet changing demands and Skillnet Ireland business networks can bring new opportunities for IDA's clients. In fact, IDA client companies who have participated in the programme are already realising added value to their operations. As this partnership evolves IDA will expand its offering to provide more strategic programmes and deepen our collaboration with Skillnet Ireland.” Lynda Boylan, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Skill...

A nurse at Wellington Hospital is describing the pressure of work as relentless and desperate. She knows nurses who have already left this year - and she's thinking of joining them. This comes as the hospital defers most non-urgent care and planned surgeries, and the DHB pays for GP appointments to divert people from its busy emergency department. Rosie Gordon reports.

The “Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act” amended the Federal Arbitration Act to bar mandatory employment arbitration agreements covering sexual harassment and sexual assault claims. This program will feature Prof. Alexander J.S. Colvin and G. Roger King who testified before Congress as the legislation was being considered (see here and here respectively, for their written testimony). The panel will discuss the new statute, its intended purposes, and its impact more broadly on mandatory employment arbitration. The program will also cover why sexual harassment and assault claims, in particular, have been excluded from mandatory arbitration. Will this exclusion for such claims remain unique under the FAA or will it lead towards a ban on mandatory arbitration for employment claims generally? How does the Act connect to the more general issue of class, collective, and joint action waivers in predispute arbitration, and will the Act impact the mass filing strategy that plaintiff side firms are increasingly using?Featuring:Prof. Alexander J.S. Colvin, Kenneth F. Kahn '69 Dean and Martin F. Scheinman Professor of Conflict Resolution, School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell UniversityG.

The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar TD and the Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Robert Troy TD have welcomed the announcement by the European Commission that CeADAR based in UCD, Dublin and the FactoryxChange consortium in the Midlands are one step closer to being fully approved as European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs). The European Union is investing over €700m to co-fund an EU-wide network of hubs. Each Irish hub is set to receive annual funding of €1.9m from both the EU and the Irish Government under the National Recovery and Resilience Facility. These new hubs will work with local SMEs and public sector bodies to help them ‘go digital', incorporating the benefits of digital technology in their operations, no matter what stage they are currently at. The hubs will provide help with training, research and testing and advice on funding. They will be up and running by the end of this year. Subject to the outcome of the next phase of national due diligence and evaluation, the successful Irish candidate hubs which are eligible to be co-funded under the Digital Europe Programme are: CeADAR led by Ireland's EI/IDA Technology Centre in Applied Data Analytics and Machine Intelligence (based in UCD) which will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) transformation in SMEs and public-service organisations. FactoryxChange (FxC), a consortium led by the EI/IDA Technology Centre Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) in Mullingar, which will accelerate factories to become ‘Factories of the Future' integrating ecological, digital, and societal solutions into their core business models. Two digital innovation hubs from Ireland awarded ‘Seal of Excellence' Through the evaluation process conducted by the European Commission a further two candidate hubs from Ireland have been deemed eligible to join the EU-wide network of Digital Innovation Hubs having been awarded the Commission's ‘Seal of Excellence' for the quality of their proposals as follows: DATA2SUSTAIN, a consortium led by Atlantic Technological University, Sligo which will develop a comprehensive service programme to increase the transformation capacity and transformation speed of SMEs with a focus on circular economy, operations and sustainability areas. ENTIRE, a consortium led by Tyndall National Institute, Cork which will help SMEs in the Agriculture, Energy and Transport sectors to become more competitive in their business or production processes using digital technologies such as sensors. The Seal of Excellence is a quality label awarded by the Commission to projects which have been assessed in a call for proposals and are deemed to comply with the quality requirements of the call but could not be funded due to European Commission budgetary constraints. These projects may receive support from national sources of funding, subject to additional due diligence and evaluation at member state level. It is intended that all of the above EDIHs, which will be either co-funded or fully funded by the Government under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, will now go through the remaining evaluation, approval and contract negotiation process before their formal establishment. Welcoming the Commission's announcement, the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar TD, said on June 17 in his announcement: “How businesses interact with their customers, how citizens access public services and how we communicate and work with one another is all being transformed by digital technology. We need to make sure we are prepared for what will surely be an acceleration of this trend and that our SMEs especially, are assisted to make the most of new technology and stay ahead of the curve. We are doing this in many ways, including through direct grant funding, but these European Digital Innovation Hubs, EDIHs, will certainly be a welcome boost to the areas they are placed in and I hope all o...
