FÁS - 'One-Step-Up'
The aim of One Step Up is to encourage employees to increase their competency levels and to promote an ethos of life long learning in the workplace. This will ensure that skill and qualifications levels in the workforce match present and future human resource requirements for continuous economic growth and competitive advantage. It will also enable employees to cope with frequent and on-going changes in work practice.
One Step Up promotes life long learning by providing easy access to a range of learning initiatives such as tutor led training and e-learning amongst other options. It will assist employees to obtain a recognised qualification within the National Framework of Qualifications.
The role of FÁS is to collaborate with all major stakeholders: e.g. employer bodies, trade unions, education establishments and trade associations, to successfully launch One Step Up
