Training & Support

In order to support the next generation of returning Irish emigrants, we provide collaborative information sharing and training sessions to Emigrant Support Programme funded organisations around the world.

We can facilitate these in person or remotely by webinar with front-line workers or directly with groups of prospective returnees. Our hope is that by working together we can support current Irish emigrants to make an informed decision about their proposed return to Ireland from abroad.
