People were interested to learn how the database operates.

In late 2008, a sub-group of the Ballymun Trainers Network began to research setting up a database of Trainers from the local area. This was to enable learners and training providers to work together more effectively. It would be used to promote training courses. The membership of the network currently includes a variety of 23 local training providers in Ballymun and surrounding areas.
This year, the Network along with the expertise of Ian Smith of Noise Multimedia has moved the database from a vision into a reality! It was launched in the Ballymun Civic Centre, on February 25th 2010, as part of the Aontas Adult Learners Festival and alongside our very own Book Exchange.
Members of the Network were there to show people how easy it is to use the database! If you are a training provider in Ballymun or Whitehall and you wish to become a member of this database or you would like to become a member of the Ballymun Trainers Network, please contact Elizabeth Tierney by mailing elizabeth@ballymun.org or telephone 01 582 39522.
