About Network Waterford

Network Ireland was founded in 1983 and today has branches throughout the country.

Our theme for this year is 'Working on your business not in your business'. Most businesspeople are so busy working for their business or in their business that they never find time to work on their business. 

But what about people who are employed? What about working on your career? Most people don't spend enough time developing career goals. Experts tell us that we should spend time assessing our own personalities, skills and interests, our likes and dislikes, and our strengths and weaknesses; identifying aspects of our present and past jobs that will help us determine our career goals for career advancement.
