The Irish Knowledge Centre

Mission

The Knowledge Centre will engage in a close partnership with both Irish and international universities, regional agencies specialising in the development of green skills and energy transition, and local government authorities.  Energy companies are also seen as possible beneficiaries and advocates of SHERLOCK's educational programs. 

Consequently, civil society organisations will actively contribute to the promotion of SHERLOCK's upskilling initiatives.   

Goals

Provide students and professionals with a free learning platform to readily upskill.
Provide a clear direction to proffesionals by providing a tool to find and gain the requisite skills to excel in their career.
Get community to actively engage in creation and dissemination of courses.
