Opening Doors to Opportunity
The construction sector is facing a dual challenge: a growing demand for skilled labour and high levels of economic inactivity across the Irish Central Border Area.
GRASP’s Labour Activation Green Skills Academies are designed to tackle both issues head-on—by providing targeted training and support to help marginalised and underrepresented groups enter the workforce and thrive in the green economy.
Why Labour Activation Matters
Economic inactivity rates in the ICBAN region exceed 25%, while the need for skilled workers in sustainable construction is skyrocketing. Retrofitting homes, installing heat pumps, and meeting net zero targets require thousands of trained professionals.
Our academies create pathways for individuals who face barriers to employment, ensuring they can access meaningful careers in a future-focused industry.
