The Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, recently announced the approval of a grant of €686,340 over four years for CareersPortal to revamp the current Saoloibre.ie platform and redevelop it as a modern, up-to-date national career guidance platform through the Irish language.
Irish language education and career opportunities will also be highlighted, with a specific zone dedicated to these opportunities.
This measure is part of a wider series of awareness actions being taken to ensure that people who wish to use or develop their Irish language skills are aware of the many different opportunities and ways available to them to do so.
This measure will also support the Government’s target of 20% of those recruited to public bodies being competent in Irish by the end of 2030 in relation to the move towards a bilingual public service.
This project is being progressed in partnership with COGG – An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta, with 75% of the funding to come from the Department and 25% to come from COGG.
