This ultimately optimises their contribution to the labour market and the economy. Our Vision is to up skill people and particularly women to enable them to optimise their full potential during their working lives. This aim will be met by giving participant an ideal opportunity to enhance their skills through professional training and development courses. Our Skillnet is spearheaded by five Trade Unions, Mandate, CWU, IBOA INMO and SIPTU together with ICTU, the national trade union confederation, whose combined membership of women is in excess of 100,000 working today in Ireland.
