Is anyone from Apple participating? They are probably the biggest employer in Ireland for remote workers.
The Springboard and upskilling initiative in higher education offer free courses at Certificate, Degree and Masters level leading to qualifications in areas where there are employment opportunities in the economy.
Springboard+ is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Social Fund as part of the ESF programme for employability, inclusion and learning 2014-2020.
Please check their board regularly where they post opportunities for remote upskilling and learning. For remote learning opportunities, please select DISTANCE under Delivery Methods.
At our first Grow Remote Discovery Day in the Hub we learned a lot. It became clear that there was a great interest in the whole area of remote working, with a great diversity in awareness:
1. What it is?
2. Is it for me?
3. How do I begin?
4. How do I get started?
5. How do I get skilled for working remotely?
6. What are the first steps?
One of our many takeaways was that many people were interested in starting their remote journey with remote learning. For this reason, we were happy to highlight the work of Workplaceless to everyone on the day (Regretfully, we missed the closing date for the scholarship).
Armed with this new information, we are planning to share opportunities for Life Long Learning to our audience from time to time, to support your journey to working remotely. Nowadays, the world is your oyster in terms of learning opportunities, be it for work prospects or pleasure.
So do not forget to hop onto the Wild Geese page where we will be sharing the best resources for life long learning alongside remote work opportunities!
