Let’s talk business...
TRAINING & DEVELOPMENTPROGRAMME 2017
Economic Development in Limerick is being driven by Limerick City and County Council, in conjunction with the IDA and Enterprise Ireland, and in the small business sector by the Local Enterprise Office (LEO), Limerick.
Limerick 2030 - An Economic and Spatial Plan for Limerick launched in 2013 is on target to deliver over 5,000 new jobs in Limerick and is positioning Limerick to capture a greater share of knowledge based investment, supporting innovation, enterprise and start-ups while capitalising on its existing strengths.
In Limerick in 2016 the Local Enterprise Office through an investment of €851,094 by way of grant aid assisted in the creation of over 300 new jobs in the small business sector resulting in a net increase of 125 jobs in businesses supported by LEO bringing the total number of jobs supported by LEO over the past number of years to 1,855.
There is no doubt that home-grown business ideas that display innovation and creativity will enable us to grow jobs, challenge for market share and demonstrate our capability to adapt in a challenging global economic climate. We have to depend on our entrepreneurs to provide innovative products, processes and knowledge based solutions that will enable us to develop our local economy and enhance job creation.
The development of Owner Managers of small businesses is seen as vital to the continued growth of the small business sector. In 2016 LEO Limerick organised over 90 training and development programmes. This level of activity will continued in 2017 and in this training and development programme there is something for every small business to assist them in their development and growth. The emphasis in this programme is on marketing, social media, exporting and business growth.
The supports for small business in Limerick are in place through the Local Enterprise Office and there has never been a better time to get into business in Limerick. I would urge anyone considering starting a business venture or growing an existing small and micro business to visit www.localenterprise.ie/limerick where they can learn more about the wide range of opportunities and supports being offered by LEO Limerick.
