SIMI Skillnet was established to develop career paths for those entering and working in the Motor Industry and provide professional training and qualifications for all grades of employment in the industry.

We are available to discuss your queries about any other future programmes we offer to businesses within the Motor Industry sector/region.

SIMI applied for and has received substantial funding from SKILLNET Ireland, to subsidise training for SIMI network members since 2013. Skillnet Ireland is funded through the Department of Education and Skills. All of the SIMI Skillnet courses listed below are jointly funded, by member companies and the Training Networks Programme. The benefit of the SIMI Skillnet subsidy is that course fees are now at least 25% less than normal rates.

We provide opportunities to employees in SIMI member companies to enhance their skills and gain new competencies which will increase the competitiveness and profitability of their companies. 

SIMI Skillnet is funded by member companies and the Training Networks Programme, an initiative of Skillnet Ireland. funded through the Department of Education and Skills. See more www.skillnetireland.ie
