In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy Podcast, Jessica Rose talks with jeweller and community member Iain Sainsbury to explore his journey through the Advanced Stone Setting Masterclasses program, an advanced training series designed for jewellers ready to refine their fine jewellery and stone-setting skills. Iain shares how he discovered jewellery-making after career burnout, and why the Masterclasses became the perfect next step in his learning. From tackling the challenges of piercing and decorative collets with Anelia Kuprina, to pushing his stone-setting skills further with Scott McIntyre, and making tiara wedding rings with April Dace, Iain reflects on the breakthroughs, struggles, and valuable lessons he's learnt along the way. This conversation highlights not just the technical skills taught in the program, but also the importance of community, accountability, and feedback in the learning journey. Iain talks about his philosophy of 'slow making,' the benefits of creating prototypes, and how he has been able to transfer his new skills into his own sand-casting practice. Whether you're curious about the Masterclasses, looking for inspiration to challenge yourself, or eager to hear from a fellow jeweller's perspective, this episode offers insights, encouragement, and practical takeaways.

A leading pensions expert is warning that the Government's auto-enrolment campaign for pensions - due to begin on January 1st - does not equip businesses with the practical information employers need to choose between auto-enrolment and existing pension options available. Feargal McKenna, co-founder of Pensions Awareness Week, which takes place from September 29th to October 3rd, and Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, was speaking to over 100 businesses at a Breakfast Briefing for Wicklow's business community this morning, which was also addressed by Tánaiste Simon Harris. The free event, at The GRID in Greystones, was organised by Wicklow's business networking group, East Wicklow Business Network (WicklowBusiness.ie) and the Local Enterprise Office Wicklow. Feargal McKenna unveiled a new Auto-Enrolment Calculator developed by Moneycube.ie specifically for employers and hosted on the Pensions Awareness Week website - www.pensionsawarenessweek.ie. The calculator - which is free to use - is designed to give Irish employers instant clarity about the true cost of auto-enrolment on their payroll and the impact on employees' take-home pay. It also allows employers to compare these costs with alternative pension arrangements, so they can make informed decisions before the scheme begins. Unlike most existing auto-enrolment calculators, which focus only on employees, Moneycube.ie's tool is built for employers, who ultimately decide whether to default into auto-enrolment or take action to establish an alternative scheme. The calculator is easy to use, with just six steps providing business owners, HR managers or finance teams with the information they need to decide whether to prepare their organisations for auto-enrolment or explore alternative options. Employers enter a few simple details about their workforce - such as employee numbers, salary levels, and contribution rates. The calculator instantly shows the total payroll cost under auto-enrolment, how much employees' net pay will fall, and the potential advantages of alternative options. Feargal McKenna, Head of Corporate at Moneycube.ie, says: "If auto-enrolment starts on January 1st, about 800,000 employees will see a reduction in net take-home pay, but employers still have time to choose a structure that can avoid that and possibly deliver better outcomes. "Our employers' calculator gives business owners, HR and finance teams instant, side-by-side numbers: the payroll cost under auto-enrolment over a 10-year period and how that compares with a well-designed occupational pension. Defaulting into auto-enrolment can disadvantage higher-rate taxpayers and limit retirement choices. The Government has released information about their Auto-Enrolment scheme, but it has fallen short in providing a straightforward tool to help people understand the options. Moneycube.ie's calculator fills that gap while supporting the goal of getting Ireland saving for retirement - something that is core to the reason we set up Pensions Awareness Week. "We built this calculator because employers need an instant picture from two, often opposing, perspectives: the finance team, focused on controlling costs, and HR, focused on benefits, recruitment and retention. Government may have cried wolf in the past, but businesses no longer have the luxury of waiting. If pension contributions aren't flowing through payroll by December, the gift under the tree this year - whether you asked for it or not - will be auto-enrolment… and it doesn't come with batteries."

Jerry is joined by the managing director at Rockwell Financial Management, Robert Whelan. They discuss to Ireland’s long-awaited auto-enrolment pension scheme, "My Future Fund", which will begin on the 1 January 2026. It’s one of the most significant pension reforms in decades. Approximately 800,000 workers will benefit from auto-enrolment, primarily those aged 23 to 60, and earning over €20,000 without an occupational pension. Robert Whelan says pensions will now be a key part of an employer’s offer to employees.
Auto-enrolment is a new pension savings scheme for certain employees who are not paying into a pension. They will be automatically included in the scheme but can opt out after 6 months. The introduction of the auto-enrolment retirement savings scheme, called my future fund, will start from 1 January 2026. To explain all the details and to answer listeners queries was Keith Dundon, Head of financial services at SYS Financial.

With Ireland's Auto Enrolment pension scheme due to launch in January 2026, Campion Insurance is warning that many employers are dangerously underprepared. Payroll errors, compliance risks, and employee confusion are looming unless businesses act now. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Ivan Dunne, Head of Financial Services at Campion Insurance. The yawning gap in the pension provision between men and women has been exposed. The average Irish woman's pension pot is a “staggering” 40pc less than men's. An average pension pot for a man in Ireland is €102,000. But it is only €60,500 for women, according to research by the Irish-owned network of financial advisers Ask Acorn. Also joining Alan on Thursday's Morning Focus is Hilary Tonge, Former Social Democrats General Election Candidate. PHOTO CREDIT: Picture (c) ADragan from Getty Images via Canva.com News
The Central Bank's latest figures show Irish household wealth at record levels, though gains are uneven and concentrated in housing. At the same time, the Government is preparing to roll out its new pension auto-enrolment scheme, aiming to bring hundreds of thousands of workers into retirement saving. To discuss these issues, Anton is joined by Dara Calleary, TD for Mayo, Minister for Social Protection, and Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.

Hello, this is your daily dose of news from Onmanorama. I’m your host, Vaishnavi, and these are the major news stories of Sunday, 24 August 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Guest: Kris Rushowy, Toronto Star reporter It's back-to-school season and Ontario universities are packed like never before. A record number of more than 84,000 first-year students are starting this fall. But even with record enrolment, schools are facing an $80 million shortfall. For years, international students have been the financial safety net, paying up to six times the tuition of Ontario students. Now, with Ottawa tightening immigration rules and visas harder to get, those numbers are dropping. Universities say the system is already in distress. Programs are being cut, staff laid off, and almost half are running deficits. And now, with higher demand from local students, there is even less money to teach them.

The new Pension Automatic Enrolment (AE), which is now called the ‘My Future Fund', is due to arrive in January 2026. So, what's the criteria for it, and will it actually benefit workers?Paul Kenny, former Pensions Ombudsman and Programme Leader of the Retirement Planning Council of Ireland, joined Ian Guider on The Last Word to answer your questions.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear the chat.
Kota, the Irish-founded employee benefits platform, has launched the country's first Instant Auto Enrolment Solution following its €12.6 million Series A investment in May. Their purpose-built solution gets Irish employers Auto Enrolment ready in just a few clicks. With 1 in 4 businesses unprepared and statutory contributions set to begin on 1 January 2026, employers have just five months to get ready. Minister for Social Protection, Dara Calleary is urging businesses to "act now", describing auto-enrolment as "the biggest transformation of pension policy in the history of the State." Kota's new offering enables HR and finance teams to implement a compliant occupational pension with Irish Life within minutes. Organisations can sync employee data, set minimum contributions, and have eligible hires automatically enrolled, while staff get an easy-to-use platform to view and manage their savings. "We've spent thousands of hours working alongside Irish employers as they prepare for the upcoming changes" said Trevor Gardiner (QFA,RPA), Head of Benefits at Kota. "Auto Enrolment has been a really positive catalyst, prompting Irish employers to talk seriously about retirement benefits. But from our conversations, it's clear the State scheme won't work for everyone. That's why we've built a solution for companies that want more control over employee experience, cost, and compliance, without the complexity." While a positive step in improving retirement readiness, The Government's 'My Future Fund' offers limited flexibility, increases administrative burdens on employers and includes strict limits that many companies and higher earning staff find unattractive, such as: No Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVCs) and savings locked up until the National Retirement Age of 66. Fixed contribution rates with no room for employer discretion. €80k salary cap on contributions, and reduced tax relief for those taxed at 40%. A Government managed portal that gives employers no control over their employees' experience. However, choosing an Occupational Pension instead of Auto Enrolment presents the challenge of ensuring the scheme is correctly set up to qualify for full exemption. Failure to do so can result in businesses running two pension schemes simultaneously, an outcome both the Government and major pension providers agree causes unnecessary complexity and administrative burden. Yet many employers are receiving limited clarity or practical guidance from their existing brokers, leaving them uncertain about the right course of action and often unaware of these nuances. Kota's purpose-built technology solves this by automatically enrolling employees onto the employers' occupational pension as soon as they're added to their HR System, eliminating the manual work and, thereby, the potential for errors and delays typically involved. Already trusted by Remote.com and hundreds of EU scale-ups including Tines, Protex AI, &Open and Car Wow, Kota delivers a future-ready, robust approach to workplace pensions. This includes: Seamless setup: Sync HRIS & payroll to launch an occupational pension with Irish Life in a few clicks. Always compliant: Synced employee data and eligibility rules ensuring everyone stays covered by the company's Occupational Scheme. Employee engagement & understanding: Consumer-grade app where employees can access, understand and make in-app changes to their savings for retirement. Regulated & secure: Kota holds a Central Bank of Ireland intermediary licence and integrates directly with Irish Life for real-time enrolments and accurate reporting. Proven at scale: Powers benefits for Remote.com and hundreds of EU scale ups. "Thousands of Irish employers are telling us that auto enrolment is a growing concern, with little guidance from traditional brokers," added Luke Mackey, Co Founder & CEO of Kota. "Our goal is to make compliance effortless in just a few clicks, while giving employees the transparent, mobile first experience they e...

Leaving it to the last minute to enrol to vote will become a thing of the past, under sweeping electoral law changes the Government's announced today. The changes mean enrolment will close before the 12 day long advance voting period begins. There will also be a total ban on prisoners voting and providing free food, drink or entertainment within 100 metres of voting places will become an offence. Otago University Law Professor Andrew Geddis spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
The Justice Minister is moving to overhaul electoral laws, calling them outdated and unsustainable. He'll end same-day enrolment and prohibit offering free food, drink and entertainment near a voting place. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper agrees with these proposed changes - and suggests it could speed up the vote-counting process.

We're re-releasing this episode because the questions it raises are more relevant than ever. In 2025, as technology transforms how students learn and entire industries evolve, the role of educators is shifting rapidly. Classrooms are becoming more digital, expectations more complex, and the pressure to keep students engaged—and prepared for the future—has never been greater. Yet, many teachers are stepping away. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly half of public education employees who leave the field aren't retiring or laid off. They're choosing to resign. Amid ongoing challenges like burnout, staffing shortages, and shifting school environments, educators are asking: How do we keep going—and keep growing? That's why we're revisiting this conversation with 2023 National Teacher of the Year Rebecka Peterson. A math teacher from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rebecka speaks with warmth, clarity, and an unshakable belief in the power of human connection.

This is an encore episode — and with good reason. As the school year winds down and summer approaches, the “summer slide” — the loss of academic progress over the break — becomes a very real concern once again. Without intentional learning opportunities, students can lose ground they've worked hard to gain, making each new year harder than the last. In this conversation, Kevin revisits a timely discussion with Aaron Dworkin, CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, about how the right summer programs don't just prevent learning loss — they help students come back stronger, more confident, and ready for what's next. Because summer doesn't have to be a setback. It can be a springboard. This is what I know. Meet Aaron Aaron Dworkin is the CEO of the National Summer Learning Association, which works to ensure all young people in America, especially the most vulnerable, can access and afford a high-quality summer learning experience every year. —----------------------------------------------- K12's innovative programs give students a head start on their healthcare career journey.
