Pat Breen – Minister of State for Employment and Small Business

AND

Joe McHugh – Minister of State for the Diaspora and Overseas Development

paid Retail Ireland Skillnet a visit yesterdy at our office at the CoLab at Letterkenny Institute of Technology. Network Manager Sean Carlin introduced the ministers to how we assist the Irish retail sector and how we have become the leading provider of retail education and training in Ireland. The Ministers were particularly interested in how our work-based approach operated in everyday scenarios and how we manage the industry/academic balance.

As you can see from the pictures, there were plenty of smiles all round!
