€2.7M in funding to support integration and employment

The Minister of State for Migration Colm Brophy announced €2.7m in funding for eight projects that will increase the employability of people who moved here as migrants.

The projects will help people to overcome barriers to employment including language difficulties, lack of training and social exclusion.

Funding is being provided under the Integration and Employment of Migrants Action of the Employment, Inclusion, Skills & Training (EIST) Programme 2021-2027. The Programme is jointly funded by the European Union, through the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), and the Government of Ireland.
