All of us at Skills Academy would like to wish our former and future course participants a wonderful Christmas and New Year. 

It is inspiring watching our participants learning and developing new skills to achieve better outcomes for members. Their commitment and enthusiasm continue to motivate us to provide ongoing guidance and support for them in their roles.   

It is heartening to see our many courses and workshops filled throughout the year. We are excited going into the 2025 term. We have developed some fantastic new offerings which we will be announcing by email. So, keep an eye out for them!

We would like to thank all our branches for their ongoing support in identifying key activists and workplace representatives, so that we can help build their confidence and capacity through training. We hope they continue to support our work in the new year.

We also want to thank everyone who filled out the evaluation of learning surveys which help us understand the needs of our representatives. These are incredibly important for helping us develop new offerings and content to maximise representatives’ potential and skills.

We look forward to welcoming you all to training during 2025. Updated training information will be sent to Branches and can be found on the training hub on website.  

Coming up in January:

Level 2 Workplace Representatives’ Training - Cork - 8th and 9th January 

There are still quite a few spaces available for 8th – 9th January in Cork. This will be the only Level 2 run in Cork for the entire 2025 period. We would encourage our reps, particularly those from the Cork/Kerry/Limerick/Waterford/Wexford area, to register. 

A registration link was sent to branches some weeks ago, but they can always contact us directly at skillsacademy@forsa.ie
