Action Plan for Jobs 2017

The Action Plan for Jobs is a whole of government initiative that mobilises all government departments to take steps that will promote job creation. We are currently preparing the 2017 Action Plan for Jobs which will be published early in 2017.

If you have an idea that you believe could help improve the environment for businesses to create jobs then we want to hear from you.

We are interested in all ideas for positive action and are particularly interested in suggestions that support the following themes;

delivering the skills for a growing economy
stimulating regional growth
maintaining and enhancing competitiveness
growing Irish companies
driving entrepreneurship and start-up companies
developing and deepening the impact of foreign direct investment
increasing labour market participation
improving access to finance for SMEs
realising sectoral opportunities

In order to understand the types of actions already being undertaken, you may wish to look at Action Plan for Jobs 2016.

Proposals should be submitted to APJ2017@djei.ie

We welcome your ideas at all times throughout the year and they will be considered in the context of the on-going Action Plan for Jobs process.

We look forward to hearing from you,
