The highlight of the Skills Academy’s summer calendar is almost upon us. Taking place next week, the summer awards ceremony is a fantastic afternoon celebrating the hard work of members who completed Skills Academy training throughout the year. 

Skills Academy Summer Certificate Ceremony – 2.30pm Tuesday 23rd June – Nerney’s Court, Dublin 

In the afternoon, following next week’s consultative council, the short ceremony will celebrate reps who have completed the Workplace Representatives Training Level 1 and the Level 2 courses, branch chairs’ and secretaries' trainings, and the Leadership Programme. 

Director of membership training and development, Fiona Dunne, invited branch officers and reps to stick around after the consultative council to support their fellow branch members. 

She said: “We would be delighted if you could join us to celebrate the achievements of some of our newest workplace representatives and branch officers, especially if they are from your branch. They’ve been very generous with their time and efforts, all to do the best job they can for their fellow members.”
