Bicycle and E-Bike Service and Repair Training Programme

Description

County Kildare LEADER Partnership have been awarded EU Just Transition Funding to deliver Kildare’s Green Upskilling Programme. This proposed programme seeks to empower marginalised individuals in the Athy and Clane-Maynooth regions, particularly those with low education and limited employment opportunities, by delivering a bespoke training programme focused on low-carbon, circular economy practices. The aim is to develop the local economy toward a sustainable, net carbon-zero future. With this in mind, County Kildare LEADER Partnership intends to run a programme of green skills training initiatives for individuals and businesses in the EU Just Transition regions of Athy and Clane-Maynooth, Co. Kildare. This tender request focuses on the Bicycle and E-Bike Service and Repair Training Programme as part of our wider programme of green skills training. Participating in this upskilling programme will enhance participants' employability, help them gain skills relevant to the local economy, and future-proof them against shifts away from traditional peat extraction industries.
