The social and economic growth of the Mid West Region is built upon the values of partnership and collaboration which is reflected in the work of the Regional Skills Forum.

The forum is comprised of education and training providers working together with industry to identify and address current and future skills needs.

Both Further and Higher Education providers are changing and adapting new learning methodologies to equip graduates and employees with new skills brought about by continuous changes in technology and automation.

The Mid-West has a strong talent pipeline with over 6,000 graduates per annum which is essential to keep pace with the demands of a changing work landscape.
