Guidance and Industry Network (GaIN)

The Guidance and Industry Network (GAIN) was established in 2022 by DCU in collaboration with the 30% Club, CWiT and supporting industry partners.  As providers of initial training and education in guidance, DCU recognised the challenges faced by practitioners in trying to access the most relevant and up-to-date labour market information. GaIN provides the opportunity for guidance practitioners and industry representatives to meet and discuss challenges and opportunities for collaboration.

The network held its inaugural event in January 2023 and since that has grown to a nationwide presence with GaIN events taking place in Accenture Dublin and Northern Trust Limerick in January each year a series of online workshops throughout this year.

Upcoming events include:

  • 24/09/24 Modern Apprenticeships webinar via Zoom (2pm-3pm)
  • 26/11/24 Inclusive Workplaces webinar via Zoom (2-3pm)
  • 7/01/25 GaIN whole day in-person event hosted in Dublin by Accenture
  • 14/01/25 GaIN whole day in-person event hosted in Limerick by Northern Trust
