Official Training Launch in Dublin

Fred Sørensen and Pim de Ridder, chairman and managing director of the International Automotive Glass Federation were proud of being invited to the Official 2008 Training Network Launch in Dublin early March. Both representatives welcomed the initiative of Allied Irish Windscreens to be the national partner of Skillnets and therefore acting for the entire AGRR industry.

Skillnets is an enterprise-led support body dedicated to the promotion and facilitation of learning as a key element in sustaining Ireland’s national competitiveness. Skillnets supports networks of enterprises to engage in training under the Learning Networks Programme. These Learning Networks, now referred to as ’Skillnets’, are led and managed by the enterprises themselves and have created and delivered training programmes across a broad range of industry and service sectors nationwide.
 
“International exchange on training programmes is one of the key activities of our Federation”, Pim de Ridder said. “And we are most willing to help our member Allied Irish Windscreens in fulfilling its duty. On the other hand all member organisations of InterAutoGlass will benefit from the enlarged training network being available now in Ireland”.

The Minister of State Billy Kelleher showed his responsibility for labour affairs by being present during the launching event.
