Limerick franchise-development centre plans support for 500 new jobs
Five hundred jobs are expected to be supported by Europe's first third-level centre of excellence for franchise development, in Limerick.
The National Franchise Centre, which is modelled on the existing LEAP (Limerick Enterprise Acceleration Programme) run at LIT’s Enterprise Acceleration Centre (EAC), will offer tailored six-month training programmes to anyone interested in taking up on franchise opportunities in Ireland and abroad.
