'Succeed In Ireland' Initiative Aims To Create 5000 Jobs
The Government today launched the "Succeed in Ireland" initiative, which aims to create 5000 jobs within five years by targeting international companies and business people, who would otherwise not be reached by the State enterprise agencies, for employment opportunities to Ireland.
The initiative was launched by the Taoiseach, the Tanaiste, and the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the Custom House.
Today's launch represents delivery of a key Q1 commitment in the Action Plan for Jobs 2012, and also represents a concrete example of the Government's commitment to make Ireland the best small country in the world in which to do business.
The initiative will provide direct financial incentives to people around the world to create employment in Ireland by making payments to people responsible for bringing sustainable jobs to Ireland. Small and medium sized companies around the world considering expansion, but who would not be large enough to be reached by the State enterprise agencies, will be targeted in particular by the new initiative. The Irish community around the world will be a major focus of the programme.
The initiative will be managed by IDA Ireland, which, following a procurement process, has appointed ConnectIreland.com to promote and deliver the initiative. ConnectIreland.com will use referral marketing to generate interest in the initiative.
Launching Succeed in Ireland, Taoiseach Enda Kenny, TD, said: "The top priority of this Government is to get Ireland back to work and the Action Plan for Jobs was published recently to address this problem. The Succeed in Ireland initiative, as part of the Action Plan for Jobs, will incentivise people around the world, including our diaspora, to be our eyes and ears on the global stage and help deliver new jobs and investment. This is an innovative scheme that offers a new channel to reach thousands of small to medium enterprises around the world and spread the word about Ireland’s strong reputation as a location for business."
