HRI Launches Grant Programme

Horse Racing Ireland has established a grant programme that will make contributions to training programmes for stud and stable staff in Ireland. The programme will see successful applicants reimbursed up to €1,000 for any course or training programme accredited by Quality and Qualifications Ireland, or an equivalent organisation.

Patrick Ryan of HRI's Careers and Racing Education Department said, “I hope the grant programme will act as an incentive for stud and stable staff to consider returning to education in order to increase their skills and knowledge for their current role, or to help them progress to a new role. We are very willing to offer expertise and experience from within HRI for anyone who would like assistance with their application, or indeed advice with an assignment, study plan, or project.”
