Some key actions of MIDAS are:

  • Support the collective training needs of engineering staff within our sector.
  • Help companies to fill jobs vacancies (through website, government, agencies).
  • Support new industry start-ups ( e.g. through accelerator proposal submitted to Enterprise Ireland).
