The Enhance project was an important part of the overall Step Up Programme, funded by Interreg and managed in Ireland by FAS, to address a major aspect of this up-skilling – specifically workers aged over 35 who are considered low skilled. The Model County Group managed this Interreg programme for the up-skilling of Ireland’s workforce in Wexford to increase productivity and hence competitiveness which was considered essential for economic growth and sustained employment expansion over the next decade. It trained and supported 200 people through the training programme.
