Advancing Social Inclusion

Turas Nua is proud to have been a finalist in the Advancing Social Inclusion category at this year’s National Diversity & Inclusion Awards, delivered by the Irish Centre for Diversity.

These awards recognise organisations across Ireland that are leading the way in diversity, equity and inclusion, and delivering measurable social impact.

Being shortlisted as a finalist means our work was independently assessed against national best practice standards and recognised for its real-world impact.

What Being a Finalist Means 

Recognition in the Advancing Social Inclusion category reflects our commitment to:

• Expanding access to employment opportunities
• Supporting individuals facing barriers to work
• Partnering with employers on skills-based hiring
• Strengthening communities through sustainable employment

It demonstrates that inclusive employment is not simply a value statement, but that it is embedded in how we operate and deliver services nationally.



Inclusive Employment in Practice

Through the National Employment Service, Local Area Employment Service and Employability Service, Turas Nua works closely with employers to:

• Match candidates based on skills and potential
• Support inclusive recruitment processes
• Provide ongoing in-work support
• Improve retention and workforce resilience

Our approach is practical and business-focused. Inclusive hiring strengthens organisations while delivering positive social outcomes.



Partnering for Impact

As labour markets evolve and expectations around ESG and social responsibility grow, employers are increasingly looking for recruitment partners who can deliver both workforce solutions and measurable impact.

Being recognised at a national level reinforces Turas Nua’s role as a trusted Social Recruitment Partner.

The employers who will lead in 2026 are those who understand that inclusive hiring and business performance go hand in hand.
