Roscommon County Council - Promoting Equal Opportunities for All
In December 2007, Roscommon County Council was chosen as a Model of Best Practice in the Local Government Sector in the promotion of Equal Opportunities for All. This model of Best Practice was utilised in a Case Study, which was created by the Local Government Management Services Board for the Irish Times Business 2000 initiative.
The Irish Times Business 2000 is a curriculum-linked resource for second and third level students to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the business world and is designed to bring real business stories into the classroom. It brings business to life, illustrating the internal and external factors affecting many leading organisations. The influence of people in the organisation is frequently emphasised, illustrating that business is a human endeavour. Each Friday during the school year, the Business & Finance pages of the Irish Times publish an article which links this project to current business.
This Case Study is included in the 11th edition of the Irish Times Business 2000 publications and a total of over ninety leading Irish and International Organisations have participated to date.
