Dublin, Dublin, Remote, Ireland
The Open Doors Initiative provides opportunities to some of the marginalised members of our society. We create pathways to work through training, education, employment and entrepreneurship.
Some of the people we work with include refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, people with disabilities and disadvantaged youth, those from a Traveller or Roma background, LGBTIQ+, people with a criminal past, and any intersectionality between the groups.
In Ireland today, these groups face higher barriers to employment than most others. Many are cut out of work, even during the recent times of nearly full employment.
Our Purpose
Is to enable equitable access to employability for marginalised people in Ireland.
Our Mission
Is to guide those who are facing barriers to employability and to support companies through collaboration and innovation.
