6.4 Employment Strategy
Policy ECON 1: Employment Growth and Promotion
It is the policy of the Council to facilitate enterprise and employment, and to co-operate with other agencies including the private sector in order to provide employment opportunities.
Despite the decline in unemployment, the Council will continue to play a role in alleviating unemployment. To this end, the Council will continue to co-operate with employment creation agencies such as Shannon Development, Enterprise Ireland, The County Enterprise Board and the IDA.
Several local agencies are involved in the development of enterprise and employment opportunities, namely the County Development Board, County Enterprise Board, Chambers of Commerce, LEADER Groups, and Town Councils. The Council will seek to assist the work of these agencies through the policies set out in the Plan, which are designed to facilitate the achievement of sustainable development.
