Fórsa has secured an agreement on the engagement of a facilitator to assist with the design of the new higher education job evaluation scheme. A tender for this work has now issued to interested parties.

Fórsa has also secured an agreement, through the WRC, establishing a joint process for rolling out an agreed new organisational design for each of the 16 Education and Training Boards (ETBs). This engagement will enable unions to negotiate staff numbers and grade levels in a consistent manner across the sector.
