Continuing professional development

In 2009, Gas Networks Ireland became an Engineers Ireland Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accredited employer. This accreditation was given in recognition of the quality of the company’s Learning and Development policies, procedures and its commitment to CPD. CPD includes a wide range of learning activities such as coaching, mentoring, conferences, webinars, structured reading, work on professional committees, etc.
