Learn the skill of remote work
There are 80,000 remote jobs open in Ireland today. These are decent jobs with salaries, pensions, and benefits. Remote work has evolved from freelance and gig work, and with that, the skills required have changed.
At Grow Remote, we are building a remote ready workforce in Ireland, led by some of the world’s largest remote employers.
Our programmes are fun, engaging, and wrapped up in community. We’re really eager to see you succeed, and maybe even contribute back to the community, just like Rebecca did.
Join our next info session to know more about the programme. We have an info session every week to give you an overview of the courses, schedules, and you can ask us questions live.
LOETB, in collaboration with IDA Ireland, SOLAS, and Grow Remote, has created this training program to develop the skillset required of learners wishing to enter into employment in the area of Remote Work.
This is an 8 week, fully funded program, with a minimum mandatory time investment of 4 hours per week. The contact hours for the course are broken into, on average, 2 meetings for the live sessions and optional Ask Me Anything sessions with remote experts.
P.S. All the remote jobs are here!

What We Offer
Grow Remote offers connections to industry expertise and access to knowledge that is at the cutting edge of remote work.
Beginner Course
This course is designed for those new to remote work, or with some experience.
While it is beginner-friendly, you will be expected to make an effort to have your basic set up of platforms like Zoom and Slack or before starting (and we’ll help with this).
Industry Identified Skills
The course includes all of the skills and knowledge that remote employers are looking for and to set you up for success in your remote work search.
This course is part of our work to ensure Ireland has a competitive ‘Remote Ready Workforce’.
Realworld Expertise
You will get the opportunity to hear from those working with remote teams. During the course, we will welcome speakers ranging from remote employers and managers to those working in remote teams, and remote experts on areas such as communication and well being.
This is a unique opportunity to hear straight from potential future employers and colleagues.
