Skillnets

With our development grant under our belts, a new project manager, a new consultant and a steering committee to boot, the Events Industry Skillnets is fast becoming a regular part of our lives.

New Skillnet Project Manager

Paul, meet everyone. Everyone, meet Paul.

This is Paul, the new project manager for the events industry skillnet. Paul is going to be the one organising the focus groups, collecting the training needs analysis and following up on everyone to make sure that we all know about the skillnets programme and how it can benefit us.

He's a nice chap, and will more then likely be in contact soon. If you have any questions for Paul, please contact him either by phone (01 7163630) or by e-mail: paul_at_eventsindustryskillnet.com (replace the _at_ with a @ sign).

You should also check out the new Events Industry Skillnet website for regular updates.
