Fás unit to upskill ex-Dell workers

ON the first anniversary of the Dell closure announcement, FÁS was yesterday given Government approval to set up a dedicated unit in Limerick to help former workers at the closed down computer plant to upskill and retrain.

Former Dell workers have already set up their own advice centre in Limerick.

The new unit will manage the €23 million EU fund allocated under the globalisation scheme of which €8.2m will be given by the Government.
